It turns out, they were the main characters.

As if she had thought of something, she opened her mouth:

"But Master—"

Before she could finish speaking, the Lord of Reincarnation suddenly raised his hand, signaling Huang Manting to be quiet.

The old man's cloudy eyes flickered with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and he felt a splitting headache.

Some worn-out memories seem to be gradually resurfacing...

……

While naturally formed furnaces are rare in the Nine Provinces, they are not entirely nonexistent.

However, the only innate furnace that can continuously evolve is the one from Mu Zhian's family.

Otherwise, the various forbidden lands wouldn't have gone to such lengths to obtain Mu Zhi'an and use him to ascend to immortality.

However, neither Ni Yan nor Isis of the Immortal Forbidden Land would have imagined that Ye Lingxuan of the Eastern Continent Forbidden Zone was able to completely control the forbidden rules with the help of Mu Zhian.

At this very moment, as Ni Yan had Mu Zhi'an brought into the palace, preparing to go into seclusion to ascend to immortality with the help of the innate furnace, she never expected that Huang Manting would take this opportunity to conduct a forbidden test.

Deep within the forbidden land of reincarnation, in an ancient palace, a supreme woman in magnificent robes leans against her throne, looking down at the young man who has just been escorted there by his maids.

"Young Master Mu, it's really difficult to invite you over," Ni Yan said with a smile.

His words carried a hint of frivolity, an arrogant expression as if he were looking down on an ant.

She could remain calm in the presence of any living being in Kyushu, but when faced with this young cultivator who had repeatedly thwarted the forbidden land, Ni Yan couldn't help but feel anger.

Even if she didn't know what happened after her clone went to the Great Qian Dynasty, she knew without a doubt that it must be related to Mu Zhi'an.

In this world, the only person who can persuade someone at the Feather Transformation Realm to protect him is Mu Zhi'an.

"I'm quite surprised too. I didn't expect you to come up with such a low-level trick as kidnapping... What exactly do you want to do?"

Mu Zhian's hands were tightly bound by handcuffs. His face was calm, but there was a hint of panic in his eyes, as if he had not expected to be kidnapped here.

"Now I'm asking you a question."

Seeing the boy's expression, Ni Yan gave a disdainful smirk and gestured for the servant to release him.

At the same time, he rose from in front of the throne and walked down the steps with elegant steps.

A long red and white dress trailed on the ground, and a swirling halo of light emanated from beneath her feet as she walked in front of Mu Zhian, wearing embroidered shoes that accentuated her snow-white insteps.

She lifted Mu Zhi'an's chin with the back of her foot, her eyes filled with a cold mockery: "Mu Zhi'an, haven't you figured out your current situation yet?"

"No one knows you're in the forbidden zone of reincarnation. You're just a prisoner, not the powerful Mu Zhi'an who once commanded respect throughout the Nine Provinces."

"If I wanted to, I could kill you right now."

Mu Zhian's expression changed slightly: "Aren't you afraid that others will retaliate against the Forbidden Zone of Reincarnation if they find out?!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Yan simply withdrew her foot, slowly circled Mu Zhi'an, scrutinized his gloomy face, and chuckled: "There are now two Lords of Reincarnation in the Reincarnation Forbidden Land. If the Azure Emperor and Gong Lian Yue find out that you have been captured in the Reincarnation Forbidden Land and retaliate for it, do you think Teacher will just stand by and watch the Reincarnation Forbidden Land be destroyed?"

Hearing this, Mu Zhian looked at the woman with fear: "You want to reap the benefits without lifting a finger and use the Azure Emperor and Gong Lianyue to get rid of the first Lord of Reincarnation?"

"However, the only ones who would capture me are the female supreme beings; they cannot be fooled by you. Once they find out I am in the Forbidden Zone of Reincarnation, they will absolutely not let you go!"

"If you know what's good for you, let me go, and then..."

Before Mu Zhian could finish speaking, Ni Yan had already raised her index finger to 'shh' and said with a charming laugh, "Even if it gets exposed, isn't there still Isis? The one who's using the nation's fate to cooperate with the Western Regions is the Immortal Lord, what does that have to do with me?"

"Although I invited Young Master Mu to be my guest, I don't actually plan to ascend to immortality so soon."

"After all, once the Heavenly Dao descends, it will certainly not allow any Ascension Realm cultivators to remain alive in the Nine Provinces."

Ni Yan seems to know more than I imagined… Mu Zhian frowned slightly, and said calmly, “The Great Qian Dynasty has not been destroyed. Your plan has failed. Heaven’s will cannot descend…”

"It seems you really know very little about the Dao of Heaven."

Ni Yan revealed a captivating smile as she sat beside Mu Zhi'an, her sexy body nestled against him: "There are two ways the Heavenly Dao descends. One is when the dynasty is destroyed, the Heavenly Dao formally descends upon the Nine Provinces using the rules of heaven and earth."

"There is another kind... When someone seriously violates the rules of heaven and earth, it can directly descend upon the Nine Provinces and correct this world."

As she spoke, Ni Yan's slender hand traced Mu Zhi'an's face and gently stroked his thigh: "The reason why the Heavenly Dao could not descend before was because the secrets of Heaven were blocked by someone, so He did not realize that so many things had happened in the Nine Provinces."

“In the past, He would control the Nine Provinces through the will of Heaven, but for some reason, recently the will of Heaven seems not to have informed Him about the affairs of the Nine Provinces.”

She breathed a sweet breath into Mu Zhi'an's ear: "Young Master Mu, I've heard that you don't refuse any beautiful woman... Now is the perfect time for romance and pleasure. Instead of talking about these things, why don't you indulge yourself first?"

However, Mu Zhian was preoccupied with Ni Yan's words. A thought crossed his mind: "Did you invite the Heavenly Dao to descend?"

To everyone's surprise, Ni Yan's expression darkened considerably upon hearing this, and her gentle and charming demeanor diminished somewhat.

Although Mu Zhian's question was unintentional, it hit her sore spot perfectly.

As early as when the Azure Emperor ascended to heaven, the Forbidden Land had considered asking the Heavenly Dao to descend and restore the balance of the Nine Provinces.

However, the secrets of heaven were blocked, and they were unable to transmit any information about the Nine Provinces to the Heavenly Dao.

"It was not me who summoned the Heavenly Dao, nor any other forbidden land."

Ni Yan said with a smile, "Didn't you notice?"

"The secrets of heaven that have always been hidden from the entire Kyushu are now in decline."

"This means that the person who once secretly concealed the secrets of heaven is now very weak."

……

……

I had a bit of writer's block yesterday, I'll add another chapter later.

Chapter 627 Mrs. Mu, a 'hot commodity' in forbidden lands

"Those who shield themselves from celestial secrets are very weak...?"

Mu Zhian repeated softly, then looked up at Ni Yan: "The decline of the Daoist technique that shields the secrets of heaven means that person's power is waning?"

"if not?"

The current Lord of Reincarnation placed his hand on Mu Zhi'an's thigh, his slender fingertips casually tracing the thigh, and whispered a sweet fragrance in his ear in a coquettish voice.

Do you think that blocking heavenly secrets comes at a price?

“Shielding the secrets of heaven and deducing the secrets of heaven are two different things. The former violates the rules of heaven and earth and will be tainted with misfortune, while the latter involves the cycle of cause and effect. Under normal circumstances, powerful beings who are slightly afraid of death will not actively touch these two things. After all, even if a powerful being is tainted with misfortune and cause and effect, there is a high chance that he will suffer a backlash.”

"Judging from your tone, do you perhaps know the person who conceals the secrets of heaven?"

Ni Yan looked at him with a smile: "I advise you to stay away from that person as soon as possible. Once you get involved with bad luck and karma, those who come into contact with that person will not have a good ending either."

Ni Yan's tone became more sincere: "Mu Zhian, you are a rare genius. I have heard about your deeds. No wonder even a peerless fairy like the Azure Emperor would fall for you... Your appearance, talent, and even your innate potential as a furnace are all destined to attract the favor of cultivators of the opposite sex."

"I've also heard that you seem to really like girls who already have partners... Do you enjoy the thrill of stealing someone else's love?"

Mu Zhian snapped out of his daze and frowned, asking, "Where did you hear all these strange things?"

"It's just hearsay."

Ni Yan said with a smile, "But if you like that feeling, you can try to take me away from the Heavenly Dao."

Mu Zhian glanced at her subtly: "I don't understand what you're saying."

"Is it that you don't understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"

Ni Yan wore a faint smile on her mature and charming oval face, and her voice was so alluring: "The nine forbidden lands were originally created by the Heavenly Dao, and the masters of the forbidden lands can all be said to be children of the Heavenly Dao."

"Although I am not the first forbidden lord of the Reincarnation Forbidden Land, if the Heavenly Dao descends, I will obey the Heavenly Dao as well."

"You already know about this, don't you?"

Mu Zhian: "..."

"So..."

Ni Yan's slender hand paused for a moment, her fingertips tracing circles on his thigh. She raised her head, a blush spreading across her delicate, proud face, her eyes seeming to sparkle with alluring charm: "Come and submit to me, Mu Zhi'an~"

"If you succeed, I'll let you go. But if you fail, you'll become my slave."

Mu Zhian raised an eyebrow: "Why are you talking so much to a prisoner like me? Aren't you the one who decides what I want to do now?"

As he finished speaking, he shook the shackles on his hands, his tone laced with mockery.

A playful smile flickered in Ni Yan's beautiful eyes: "I've said it before, you are a rare genius. Rather than forcing me to cultivate with you, I would prefer to build a foundation of affection between us."

"After the Great Purge, the Ascension of the Nine Provinces will cease to exist, and you will have no support. But I can be your support. As long as you submit to me, everything I possess will be yours... Similarly, I will do my best to plead with Heaven for your life."

Mu Zhian lowered his eyes slightly: "That's a very generous suggestion."

It must be said that this is indeed a very generous offer.

As a result, most people would likely be tempted by such a proposal.

Ni Yan smiled slightly, her voice carrying a hint of arrogance: "You may think I'm lying to you, but do you really believe that any living being in this world can defy the will of Heaven?"

"Even the Azure Emperor and the others cannot defy the Heavenly Dao. The best way for them to break this deadlock is to leave the Nine Provinces and ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"But they can't take you to the Celestial Realm with them, so you have no choice."

"Either submit, or die."

Her smile was still as beautiful as ever, but it exuded a dangerous aura.

In reality, even if Mu Zhian refused now, Ni Yan wouldn't kill him.

Ultimately, among the nine forbidden lands, apart from a few male supreme beings, the other four forbidden lands all want Mu Zhi'an so they can cultivate with him and absorb spiritual energy.

Ni Yan was no exception.

She couldn't bear to kill Mu Zhi'an.

After all... she didn't need to do that; she had ways to make Mu Zhian submit to her.

"Actually, I can't think of a reason why you refused."

Ni Yan whispered seductively in his ear, "In the future, although I will call you a slave in public, in private you will become my husband. No matter what you want to do or how you want to take revenge on my lowly body, I will satisfy you."

"Moreover, after the Great Heavenly Rectification ends, the Forbidden Land will regain control of the Nine Provinces. You can have any girl you want without any opposition or criticism. The Azure Emperor is beautiful, but who can guarantee that such a great beauty won't appear again in a thousand or ten thousand years?"

"By then, the entire forbidden land of reincarnation will become your harem. You can do whatever you want with any woman in Kyushu every day, whether she is a girl or a married woman, and no one will dare to object to you."

"Because by then, the power of the rules of the Reincarnation Forbidden Land will cover the entire Kyushu."

The enticing offer, the sweet scent of her breath on my face, and the soft touch of her delicate body pressed against my side.
