It turns out, they were the main characters.

Yao Meng smiled gently, and a green seed appeared in her palm.

She gently tossed the seeds.

Then, countless vines surged from the ground and rushed rapidly toward the Lord of Immortality.

A dense spiritual energy suddenly spread from beneath the feet of the Lord of Immortality, directly enveloping the vines within it.

Then, the vines broke off section by section.

"Three at the Feather Transformation Realm, and if we include the Spirit Dragon who is currently undergoing tribulation and the Princess Consort of Yunzhou, is that a total of five?"

The Lord of Immortality slowly spoke, "If it were in the past, it would indeed be difficult to handle... but you seem to have underestimated the power of the Forbidden Land!"

Behind the several forbidden lords, nearly nine more powerful beings at the Dao Integration Realm appeared.

These are forbidden creatures that grew up in forbidden lands in the past. Although they cannot compare to the forbidden lords who possess forbidden items, they still possess strength close to ascension.

At this moment, the Lord of Order looked up at the white-robed youth who had been sitting quietly under the pavilion, his smile bright and captivating: "Mu Zhian, if you don't want all your Daoist partners to perish here, you'd better obediently hand over the black box and submit to your mother."

"If one of your Daoist partners were to accidentally die, I would be heartbroken."

At this moment, the gazes of the Forbidden Lord and even the Forbidden Creatures were all fixed on the young man sitting in the pavilion deep within Liangyi Peak. He wore a white robe embroidered with gold thread and a jade belt, holding a cup of tea in his hand, drinking the tea with his eyes lowered, as if he didn't care about anything that was happening here.

Clad in white, she seemed to emanate a soft glow, a blessing bestowed upon her after absorbing primordial spiritual energy. All living beings naturally feel awe and affinity for this kind of spiritual energy.

"Mu Zhian, did you hear that?"

Seeing that Mu Zhian still hadn't spoken, the Lord of Order's expression turned even colder.

She took a deep breath and said coldly, "Fine... since you refuse to speak, then I'll let you see just how horribly your Daoist partner will die after I capture you!"

Just then, Mu Zhian seemed to lose interest, got up and walked out of the pavilion, sighing softly: "It's always the same two sentences, always talking about fighting and killing, it's so boring."

The moment he opened his mouth, even the Forbidden Lord, who was originally about to make a move, was stunned, wondering what he meant by that.

At this moment, Mu Zhian's gaze swept over them, and he said thoughtfully, "1, 2, 3, 4... a total of seventeen forbidden supreme beings? Without being restricted by the rules, it's equivalent to Yao Meng and the others each having to fight six supreme beings. The pressure is indeed too great."

The Lord of Order sneered: "Since you know, then—"

"Then why don't you consider surrendering?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked with a smile.

His face was handsome, and nine fox tails seemed to slowly unfold behind him. This was fine for the Supreme Beings, but for the female Supreme Beings present, he seemed to have a certain charm, so much so that even the Lord of Order who had just reprimanded him couldn't help but be momentarily dazed.

"The Heavenly Dao can only allow you to ascend to immortality for a short time. Even if the forbidden rules cover the Nine Provinces in the future, and you are nominally the masters of the Nine Provinces, in reality, everything is still under her control."

Mu Zhian glanced down at the empty teacup and said softly, "But if you become one of my people, any female cultivator will be able to break through the limitations of the rules of heaven and earth in the future."

“Even ascending to the Heavenly Court.”

His words were calm, yet they seemed to possess a certain magic, causing several of the female supreme beings present to become dazed and even feel a flutter in their hearts.

In the Forbidden Lord, both Ni Yan and Isis's eyes flickered slightly, and they subconsciously looked at Mu Zhian, seemingly anxious.

Although the spiritual energy of the innate furnace is vast, it cannot withstand several people taking turns absorbing it.

We absolutely cannot allow the number of people throwing silver parties to increase...

The Lord of Immortality seemed to have noticed that some of them were wavering, and coldly reminded them: "Don't be fooled by Mu Zhi'an's words. Even if you surrender, it depends on whether he can still live."

"You all remember what would have happened to the Eternal Lord if Mother had discovered that any of you had betrayed her, right?"

Mu Zhian betrayed the Heavenly Dao and chose to stand on Shang Yanfei's side, which destined him to become the Heavenly Dao and their enemy.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian suddenly laughed as if he had heard something amusing.

"So, you mean if I'm caught by you, I'll die, is that right?"

The Lord of Immortality raised an eyebrow: "Do you really think that the three Ascension Realm experts can protect you forever? Or do you believe that the Primordial Mother Goddess's broken body can suppress the Heavenly Dao and save you?"

"Seventeen against three, how do you expect to win?"

Mu Zhian smiled and put down his teacup: "Do you dare swear to the Great Dao that if I stood in front of you, you would definitely kill me?"

These words caused the Lord of Immortality to frown deeply.

He thought of the tragic death of the Eternal Lord.

His mother's obsession with Mu Zhian had exceeded his imagination.

In this situation, no one knew that 'Mother' would definitely kill Mu Zhian after capturing him.

Ultimately, even he had never seen the Heavenly Dao be so persistent towards a particular being.

If they actually kill Mu Zhi'an, and the Heavenly Dao finds out afterwards... who knows what its reaction will be.

The Lord of Immortality, not wanting to waste any more words with Mu Zhi'an, transmitted his voice to the other forbidden supreme beings: "You all are responsible for holding off the Azure Emperor and the others. I'm going to capture Mu Zhi'an!"

His eyes were cold, and he had already vowed that even if Mu Zhian didn't die, as long as he fell into his hands, he would definitely take this opportunity to make the other party pay the price for his previous rudeness!

Even with the protection of the Azure Emperor and a few others, Mu Zhian could not possibly escape unscathed from the presence of seventeen forbidden supreme beings!

However, just as this thought flashed through the mind of the Lord of Immortality, he suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat and a sharp blade formed from spiritual energy pierced through his chest.

When he realized what was happening and tried to resist, it was too late; the blade of spiritual energy had already pierced through his spiritual consciousness.

The Lord of Immortality slowly turned his head and looked up, his eyes reflecting a woman with wheat-colored skin.

She held a weapon formed from spiritual energy in her hand.

“I…Si…Si…”

The Lord of Immortality murmured in disbelief, "You actually betrayed the Heavenly Dao..."

Almost simultaneously, Mu Zhi and Ni Yan also made their moves, but this time, the other Forbidden Lords reacted quickly and retreated rapidly.

The Lord of Immortality staggered backward, his spiritual consciousness damaged, but his eyes were filled with intense hatred.

The Lord of Order stared wide-eyed in disbelief, roaring, "You actually chose to betray Mother?!"

Mu Zhi toyed with the black notebook in her hand, her voice clear and pleasant: "Don't put it so harshly. I was never a being created by the Heavenly Dao, so how can there be any talk of betrayal?"

"If I had to say, Mu Wange is my mother."

Ni Yan's gaze softened: "I'm tired of this monotonous and boring life, but Mu Lang can give me unparalleled joy. Once you experience it, you'll understand just how wonderful that heavenly joy is."

"Unfortunately, you won't have the chance to experience it..."

The Lord of Order coldly interrupted, "You won't have one either. Those who betray the Way of Heaven will not have a good end."

"So what if the three forbidden lords betrayed you? Do you really think you can rewrite this great trend?"

"Even if you three are included, you still can't possibly defeat fourteen supreme beings—"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a melodious and pleasant young girl's voice.

"Six isn't enough, what if we join them?"

The Lord of Order suddenly turned his head, only to find that a girl in a purple dress had appeared behind him at some point.

Ye Lingxuan!

She was standing on the back of the Kunpeng, and on the Kunpeng stood a man in black robes with his hands behind his back.

The previous ruler of the forbidden zone, Ye Lingxuan's father!

At the same time, powerful figures also emerged from Yuzhou, the Western Regions, and even the Northern Territory, which had never participated in the affairs of the Nine Provinces.

They all realized that this was a rare opportunity, and once the Heavenly Dao succeeded, the Nine Provinces would be controlled by forbidden rules.

They won't have a chance to turn things around then.

The Lord of Order's eyes flashed with coldness as he abruptly raised his head and looked towards Yunzhou: "Great Roc Emperor, what are you waiting for?!"

A sharp cry echoed from the depths of Yunzhou, and a golden light streaked out from within Yunzhou. He had made a deal with the Lord of Order in the past, in which the Lord of Order exchanged a celestial herb for the loyalty of the Great Roc Emperor.

But before Luo Tan could refine the elixir, the Heavenly Dao had already descended.

At this point, the Forbidden Land was forcing him to choose sides.

If they don't come out now, they will be dealt with in the future.

Luo Tan, wearing white jade boots, walked gracefully from the void. Looking at the tall man standing behind the Lord of Forbidden Things, she said softly, "Great Roc Emperor, the Heavenly Dao and the hearts of the people have been lost. It is not too late to turn back now."

The Great Roc Emperor sneered, "The Heavenly Dao is blessed by all living beings. Now, the rules of heaven and earth, and the forbidden rules, are all under its control. Moreover, so many positions in the forbidden land are now vacant. After the Heavenly Dao settles its accounts, I can also become the Lord of the Forbidden Land, occupy a part of the Nine Provinces for my own use, and live forever."

"Besides..."

His sharp gaze was fixed on the pavilion deep within Liangyi Peak, staring hatefully at Mu Zhi'an: "The grudge between Mu Zhi'an and me from the past is far from over!"

"You guys hold off the others, I'll go capture Mu Zhi'an!"

After saying this, the Great Peng Emperor transformed into a Kunpeng and sped off towards the direction of Liangyi Peak.

He was so fast that no one could react in time.

Ye Lingxuan's expression changed slightly, and she was about to stop her.

However, at this moment, the Lord of Order stepped forward with a smile and stopped her: "Princess of the Forbidden Zone, don't be in such a hurry. Why don't you play with me for a bit first?"

A great battle broke out, and the sky seemed to shatter into countless fragments.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Great Roc Emperor appeared in front of Mu Zhi'an almost instantly.

A triumphant sneer appeared on his face. Among the people present, no one had expected that he had not yet revealed the true speed of the Kunpeng clan.

Only now, in order to capture Mu Zhian, did he unleash his true power.

However, Mu Zhian's expression remained calm.

He gently put down the teacup, and just as the Great Roc Emperor's palm was about to touch him, he suddenly and slowly raised his eyelids.

boom!

In an instant, the Great Roc Emperor's brain was struck as if by lightning, and he saw as if a heavenly gate had suddenly opened behind Mu Zhi'an.

It seemed as if thousands of bells were ringing in unison, as if they were praying for the arrival of the Lord of Heaven. Dense light flowed down from the sky, illuminating a tall figure dressed in white robes.

Golden flames flowed in Mu Zhi'an's eyes. Almost before the Great Roc Emperor's hand could touch Mu Zhi'an, his right hand grabbed the Great Roc Emperor's face.

The Great Roc Emperor's movements were noticeably sluggish. When he regained consciousness, he discovered that his furnace cauldron seemed to be sealed by some kind of force.

"Pure Lotus of the World!"

"How is this possible? Why do you possess the Pure Lotus?!"

The Great Roc Emperor suddenly looked up, but when he saw those majestic and solemn eyes, his pupils contracted sharply, and a shocked and horrified thought flashed through his mind:

The Ascension Realm?
