It turns out, they were the main characters.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhian, then at Shang Yanfei, hoping that the sect leader would say that what he had just said was just a joke.

However, it was not hard to tell from Shang Yanfei's expression that she was not joking just now.

The herdsman actually connected with the Heavenly Dao...

It wasn't until much later that Mu Zhian finally came to his senses.

He did not doubt Shang Yanfei's words.

Rather, when Shang Yanfei revealed the truth, the first person he thought of was Yuanluo.

As Yuanluo had said before, she could not absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from the innate furnace, because if she became obsessed with the innate furnace and Mu Zhian, she would develop 'desire' and become a Heavenly Dao with 'humanity'.

Having acquired personal desires, one is no longer the sacred and just Heavenly Way in the hearts of all living beings in the Nine Provinces.

He will exercise his power for his own selfish interests.

Looking at Mu Zhian, whose expression was constantly changing, Shang Yanfei asked with some confusion, "Do you believe what I said?"

I thought he would have a hard time accepting this fact.

But it seems he has a pretty strong ability to learn.

Mu Zhian sighed softly, his expression subtly complex: "Xin Tiandao said something similar before, so I was somewhat prepared."

Back when he was still in the Heavenly Court, Mu Zhian was unaware that the Heavenly Dao would develop feelings when he was born as a furnace.

Therefore, in order to purify her negative emotions, he used that method to cleanse her illness through the power of Heaven.

Unexpectedly, this gave her desire.

"If she has feelings for me, why did she still shoot that arrow?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Shang Yanfei gave Mu Zhian a deep look, her voice still gentle, but her emotions were much more complicated: "The arrow of Heaven will erase your existence, and no one in this world will remember you."

"But Heaven will remember you."

"As long as she remembers, you will not truly die... Your consciousness will coexist with her forever, always with her in the sea of ​​consciousness she manifests."

"But in the sea of ​​consciousness, there is only her, and no other living beings... because she does not allow any other living beings to approach you."

This sounds even more terrifying than being locked in a basement… Mu Zhian fell into a long silence: “Couldn’t she have used a gentler method…?”

"The emotions of Heaven are distorted."

Shang Yanfei's eyes flickered, and a soft, magnetic voice floated from her red lips as she said, "The rules of heaven and earth constrain all living things, and they also constrain her as the aggregate of all living things."

"She wanted to stay with you forever, so she could only try to create new rules, and that's how the Nine Forbidden Lands came to be."

"As long as the forbidden rules completely cover the rules of heaven and earth of Kyushu, she can do whatever she wants and no longer need to worry that the rules of heaven and earth will reset her personality."

Shang Yanfei said softly, "At that time, all living beings related to you will be purged, and you will not be able to leave her side even for a moment... because she will not allow it."

"So at that time, you intervened to suppress the forbidden land?" Mu Zhian asked softly.

Shang Yanfei nodded gently: "This is the whole story. The Heavenly Dao will descend soon. As long as she knows you are still alive, she will kill you and seal your consciousness in her sea of ​​consciousness."

"So you need to repair that drop of Ascension Blood before that."

Listening to their conversation, Bai Ruoxi roughly understood the cause of the matter, and her gaze towards Mu Zhian was no longer as subtle as it had been at the beginning.

"So, Mu Lang had to absorb primordial spiritual energy to repair his Ascension Blood Essence...?"

She placed her slender hand on her full breasts, let out a soft breath, and finally felt relieved.

I thought Makirou had awakened some strange hobby, but it seems I misunderstood...

The look in her eyes as she looked at Mu Zhian held a hint of pity.

"What should I do now?" Mu Zhian asked.

Shang Yanfei tilted her head to look at him, a hint of teasing in her beautiful, autumn-water eyes: "What do you think?"

Her voice suddenly held a touch of allure, and even the gentle smile on her face seemed to have gained a hint of softness.

Mu Zhian glanced at Bai Ruoxi subconsciously, somewhat hesitant.

Knowing the truth, Bai Ruoxi was no longer as angry as before. She smiled and said softly, "Mulang, focus on repairing that drop of essence blood. I will be waiting for you outside, just like the Azure Emperor."

As she said this, her fair face flushed slightly, and her jade-like fingers tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear: "I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "Or, Grandma... Ruoxi, why don't you stay? I don't mind, and I'm sure Sect Leader Sister won't mind either?"

The sect leader is a very generous woman, and Mu Zhian is quite confident in that.

As expected, Shang Yanfei simply nodded and smiled, "As long as none of you care, that's fine."

"This……"

Bai Ruoxi said with difficulty, "But wouldn't my staying here be a waste of your time... and wouldn't Mu Lang feel embarrassed?"

Mu Zhian took her soft little hand in his, looked at her proud figure under her palace dress and her unapproachable nature, and said softly, "It's been a long time since I've been with you... Stay here."

He leaned close to Bai Ruoxi's ear and whispered something.

As Bai Ruoxi heard the last part, her earlobes gradually burned, and she glared at him with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance, her eyes seemingly filled with tears.

Only two words escaped from her red lips: "Pervert!"

However, as she finished speaking, she took small steps closer to Mu Zhian's side, looking at the fox-eared young Zhian who was now only up to her chest, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but shimmer with a captivating light.

She bent her knees slightly and squatted down, taking off her embroidered shoes. Under her palace dress, a pair of delicate, small, and tender white feet were revealed, wrapped in white short socks, pure and alluring.

She gently stroked the boy's hair, then untied the headband, and his long hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

She gently pressed Mu Zhian's head so that he could lie on her lap.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at the sect leader in front of her, who was dressed in a snow-white robe and exuded an aura of holiness, and lowered her eyes shyly.

"Although I don't have primordial spiritual energy, since Makirou wants to give it a try..."

She lowered her head slightly to look at Mu Zhi'an, her red lips parted slightly, and sweet, alluring words floated out: "Ruoxi is willing to grant Mu Lang's wish~"

Chapter 640 The Purpose of the Heavenly Dao

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three days, Mu Zhian has been spending his time in the Heavenly Palace. Apart from occasionally tasting the flavor of milk, he has spent most of his time absorbing primordial spiritual energy to repair the drop of essence blood from the Ascension Realm.

"Ruoxi, you should go back to Kyushu and wait for me. I will leave here and join you after today."

Mu Zhian resumed his original posture, walked up to Bai Ruoxi, reached out and took her soft hand, carefully examining the beautiful woman in the palace dress.

A thin ribbon gently outlined her slender waist, and her full, firm breasts bulged against the fabric, making her, with her cool and delicate temperament, seem even more alluring.

A strand of hair fell across her oval face, which seemed flawless even up close. However, her gentle eyes made her less aloof and cold, but added a touch of femininity.

Holding her hand so intimately in front of Shang Yanfei made Bai Ruoxi feel a little shy and wanted to pull her hand away, but she held back.

She glanced at him shyly, and the warmth of the boy's hand brought a blush to her cheeks. When she thought of some things that had happened here in the past two days, her eyes shimmered with shy light.

Even Mu Zhian had to admit that Ruoxi's heart was truly a rare gem in the world.

“At that time, I will take you all out of Kyushu,” Mu Zhian continued.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes showed worry as she softly asked, "Does Mulang still plan to return to Kyushu?"

Now that she knows the truth about the Heavenly Dao, if the Heavenly Dao descends upon Mu Zhi'an when he returns to Kyushu and senses his presence, then things will get complicated.

The collective of all living beings in the Nine Provinces—as long as living beings exist, the Heavenly Dao cannot disappear… Is there really a solution to this existence?

Even if one ascends to immortality, can one still deal with the ways of Heaven?

Mu Zhian felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that Bai Ruoxi was really worried about him. He gently held her small hand and whispered, "There are still people in Jiuzhou who need me to save them. I have to go back no matter what."

"Don't worry, I will make everyone around me ascend to the Heavenly Court. As long as they are still in the Heavenly Court, they will not be affected by the rules and order."

The Heavenly Dao does not punish all living beings in the Nine Provinces; in the end, it is itself a collection of living beings.

When Heaven descends, it will only punish two types of people.

One category is cultivators who violate the rules of heaven and earth, and those who ascend to immortality.

Secondly... she might be able to detect the innate spiritual energy left by Mu Zhi'an in some of the female cultivators.

According to the laws of Heaven, no living being in this world is worthy of approaching Mu Zhi'an, so all women associated with him must be eliminated.

"After all, I am the ruler of the Heavenly Court. We will all be in the Heavenly Court at that time, so why would we need to worry about the Heavenly Dao?" Mu Zhi'an said with a smile.

Bai Ruoxi's delicate eyebrows gradually relaxed, she nodded gently, and then turned and walked out of the Heavenly Palace.

After watching Bai Ruoxi's figure disappear from sight, Mu Zhian turned his head to look at the sect leader, who exuded a rich immortal aura and had an unparalleled appearance.

"Sect Leader Sister, does the Heavenly Dao have any weaknesses?"

To resolve the Heavenly Dao, that drop of Immortal Ascension Realm essence blood alone is definitely not enough; at least Mu Zhian doesn't believe he can handle that kind of being.

Even Shang Yanfei at her peak couldn't handle it, let alone him now.

However, Shang Yanfei simply shook her head slightly: "The Way of Heaven has no weaknesses."

"As long as there are living beings in this world, as long as all living beings still hold the Dao of Heaven in awe, the Dao of Heaven will not disappear."

"Even if several powerful figures in Kyushu give up resonating with the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao is still an indestructible existence."

Mu Zhian looked up at her: "Even ascending to immortality wouldn't be possible?"

Shang Yanfei said calmly, "Ascension to immortality is just a realm, but it is impossible to completely annihilate all living beings in this land."

"Even if I could destroy the Heavenly Dao, it would eventually be resurrected and reborn under the will of all living beings."

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, then looked up at the woman in the gorgeous dress: "What should we do then?"

Shang Yanfei gently stroked Mu Zhian's face, her eyes filled with tenderness: "At this time, someone needs to stand up and lead all living beings to fight against the Heavenly Dao."

Does this mean I should overturn the chessboard, rebel, and overthrow the Heavenly Dao...? A hint of confusion flashed in Mu Zhi'an's eyes as he asked, "What should I do?"

Shang Yanfei gazed at her gently: "The negative emotions of the Heavenly Dao and that arrow of the Heavenly Dao are now in my mortal body. After that, as long as you seal me in the black box, you will soon know what to do next."

Why is she still playing the riddle game at a time like this? Is Sect Leader Sister craving mugwort again...? Mu Zhi'an pondered for a moment, then asked seriously, "What will happen if we fail?"

Shang Yanfei smiled and said, "It won't matter if we fail, I've already prepared a backup plan."

"But you will probably be kept by the Heavenly Dao forever, sealed within the sea of ​​consciousness within her body."
