It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists

“Your Innate Celestial Furnace seems to have been strengthened many times by someone in the past, which is why it emits such a sweet aura. However, remember not to reveal your Innate Celestial Furnace constitution, otherwise, it will bring you immense trouble.”

Having received Mu Zhian’s promise, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox nodded with satisfaction, but didn’t forget to remind Mu Zhian to know how to love himself.

Great powers who could resonate with the ‘Dao’, what hadn’t they experienced in their lives, what geniuses hadn’t they seen?

No matter how talented or brilliant one was, most geniuses, let alone Soul Transformation, many were stuck at Nascent Soul Realm their entire lives, unable to advance even a bit, ultimately turning into dust after thousands of years with their confidence completely shattered.

Even the most powerful constitution was just a fleeting moment of brilliance. No matter how strong one’s combat power was, could it compare to the great powers in the Nine Provinces who had already stepped into the Dao Integration Realm?

There were also many chosen ones in the Fox Clan in the past, but after the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, not a single one reached Dao Integration.

No, not just the Fox Clan, even in the entire Demon Realm, there were only a few at the Dao Integration Realm, and they all appeared within the past hundred thousand years.

In this long river of history, the number of Dao Integration Realm experts in the Demon Realm could be counted on one hand, and only two were currently alive.

However—

To the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, whether Mu Zhian’s constitution was strong or whether he was a genius wasn’t important. What was important was that his Innate Celestial Furnace could evolve.

“Once those great powers in the Nine Provinces know his secret, they’ll probably try every possible way to obtain him.”

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox gazed quietly, her charming eyes like silk, thinking inwardly.

“This junior will definitely keep Senior’s words in mind,” Mu Zhian was very demure and obedient, humbly heeding the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s warning.

Of course, although he said that, this Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s information was clearly not very up-to-date.

Within the Nine Provinces, several great powers already knew about his constitution’s characteristics…

Not to mention the Eastern Continent, if Empress Luo Tan of the Immortal Dynasty of Yu State knew that Mu Zhian had reached Nascent Soul Realm, she would probably immediately send someone to invite him to a banquet.

Perhaps after getting Mu Zhian slightly drunk at the banquet, she would carry him back to her bedchamber…

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was very satisfied with Mu Zhian’s attitude. She licked her lips, making them appear more rosy, and said, “Don’t forget our agreement~”

Mu Zhian nodded demurely: “This junior always keeps his promises. Since I said it, I will definitely fulfill it. I will definitely find a way to compensate Your Ladyship in the future.”

Rumble…

A rumble came from the Great Dao, signifying that the oath had taken effect.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox nodded slightly, then kindly reminded Mu Zhian of another matter: “Right, if you want to leave the ancestral land now, be careful. There are great powers fighting outside, their aura astonishing. If you’re not careful, you might get hurt.”

“Does Your Ladyship know who is fighting?” Mu Zhian asked humbly.

“One has an aura surpassing Dao Integration Realm, the other… Eh, her aura is also very close to Transcendence? No, she’s not at Transcendence, it’s just that the Heavenly Dao isn’t restricting her, so her combat power is similar to that Transcendence Realm expert.”

Alien gods weren’t affected by the rules of heaven and earth, so their combat power was extraordinary.

However, Yao Meng was the Human Emperor after all, she couldn’t possibly lose, so there was no need to worry too much… Mu Zhian nodded slightly: “Thank you for the reminder, Your Ladyship.”

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox gave him one last look, feeling a bit more appreciative inwardly.

This Mu Zhian wasn’t blindly arrogant like the geniuses she had seen in the past. He was good-looking and spoke pleasantly. If she was reborn in the future, she could take him back to the Demon Realm.

She wasn’t interested in the position of Demon Realm ruler, but with her status, just bringing an Eastern Continent cultivator back to the Demon Realm, the Demon Empress would just turn a blind eye, pretending not to see.

After all, no matter what, the Demon Empress was considered a ‘junior’ before her.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox and the First Generation Demon Emperor were demons of the same era. The Demon Empress was once one of the Thirteen Seats of the First Generation Demon Emperor. It was just that her talent was astonishing, her Heaven Devouring Demon Body devouring many cultivators on her path of cultivation, ultimately becoming the ‘youngest’ Dao Integration Realm expert.

The next moment, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox turned into a wisp of pink smoke, gracefully entering the Innate Celestial Furnace.

Mu Zhian finally let out a long sigh of relief.

His back was already soaked with sweat.

Not because of fear or such emotions, but simply because this Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was too hot!

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox hadn’t deliberately made any seductive moves just now, yet her every move was filled with a charm that could drive men crazy.

This was very similar to the Demon Empress.

“Why are all the women in the Demon Realm such vixens? If I really rebuild her demon body and return to the Demon Realm with her, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle her in the future…” Mu Zhian sighed inwardly.

At Core Formation and Nascent Soul Realm, he had been walking the path of strengthening his Essence Blood. The end of this path was ‘Martial God’.

His Essence Blood was indeed strong now, but suppressing such a vixen was still too difficult.

Mu Zhian took a step and walked out of the ‘Abyssal Lands’.

Almost the moment he stepped out of the Abyssal Lands, he heard a noisy commotion.

“Luck Stone Tablet! There’s actually a Luck Stone Tablet here!”

This excited voice completely ignited the cultivators before Immortal Emperor Mountain. Huang Feng within the crowd was even more excited, staring intently at the stone tablet.

In this world, besides the Heavenly Dao, only the Spirit Dragon could bestow Luck upon others.

Clearly, the previous rumors were true. The Spirit Dragon had been to the Lan Clan Ancestral Land and left behind some destiny here.

Mu Zhian also heard the commotion and looked over. He saw that, at some unknown point, the two stone tablets that had been standing before the Abyssal Lands were now emitting a captivating pale golden halo.

Luck!

As long as one could obtain the recognition of this Luck Stone Tablet, they could use this Luck for themselves.

One must know, this kind of ethereal thing, more than ninety-nine percent of cultivators couldn’t change it even after spending their entire lives. Now, such a good thing was right before their eyes, how could they not be excited?

“Why would there be a Luck inheritance here…?”

Mu Zhian was also stunned. Looking at the stone tablet ahead, he quickly recalled that he seemed to have seen similar stone tablets in the Spirit Dragon’s grotto-heaven within the Two Polarities Sect in the past.

Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, a silver strand of hair flashed past his eyes.

His expression turned slightly strange. He already had the answer in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, quietly leaving the crowd.

Arriving at the exit of Immortal Emperor Mountain’s secret realm, he paused slightly.

“Aaa?”

Then, Mu Zhian opened his mouth slightly, making a strange, incomprehensible sound.

Almost as soon as his voice fell, he felt a soft and warm touch on his back.

Then, a pair of hands covered his eyes.

“Aaaa~?” she asked, seemingly wanting to play a guessing game with him, but her identity was instantly revealed the moment she spoke.

Mu Zhian remained silent, thinking, Lin Ling, although I really want to play along with you, your performance is too obvious. I can’t even cooperate with your act.

Seeing Mu Zhian not speaking, Lin Ling seemed somewhat unhappy. She released Mu Zhian, puffed out her cheeks, and ignored him.

Mu Zhian’s vision returned, and he saw the silver-haired beauty in a white dress. Her beautiful and delicate features, and her magnificent red eyes, calm as the sea, held a feigned indifference.

“Lin Ling, why are you here?” Mu Zhian didn’t mind, reaching out to hold her hand, and said with a smile, “Are you entangled by the Karmic Fire again?”

Hearing ‘Karmic Fire’, Lin Ling’s feigned composure instantly crumbled. Her face flushed red, she glanced at Mu Zhian, and held up her small notebook, writing: “Worried about your safety, so I came to take a look.”

“With Yao Meng around, there’s no need to worry too much,” Mu Zhian said gently.

Miss Spirit Dragon is truly superb, both regal and adorable… Most importantly, she’s usually well-behaved and cute, but occasionally shows another side because of the Karmic Fire during dual cultivation.

In the dim hall, Mu Zhian admired Lin Ling’s blushing face.

Then, he casually asked, “Right, you just came in from outside the ancestral land, did you see who Yao Meng was fighting against?”

“A woman in a black dress, I couldn’t see her face clearly,” Lin Ling held up her small notebook and wrote.

“I haven’t seen that woman before,” she continued writing.

Oh, then it’s fine, as long as she’s not fighting with the fish in my pond… Mu Zhian finally felt relieved.

Just then, a cultivator was approaching on his sword in the distance. He looked flustered, searching for something.

“Aren’t you a Lan Clan member? Are you only entering the ancestral land for the trial now?” Mu Zhian recognized this person as one of the Lan Clan members.

He had stayed in the Lan Clan for a while, so he had some understanding of the Lan Clan members.

“Young Master Mu, I finally found you!”

Upon seeing Mu Zhian, the young man’s expression immediately brightened. He first looked at Lin Ling doubtfully, then hurriedly said, “Young Master Lan Wu is asking you to come out and take a look quickly.”

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: “Understood, you go out first, I’ll be there soon.”

Ruoxi was currently in seclusion. Within the Eastern Continent, there were no women who would clash with Yao Meng. As long as his own backyard wasn’t on fire, it didn’t matter.

But of course, he still had to intervene appropriately. Yao Meng was at the Transcendence Realm after all. If she razed the Lan Clan Ancestral Land to the ground, he would be embarrassed to see Sister Feiying and Senior Sister Lan in the future.

“Let’s go, let’s go out and take a look,” Mu Zhian held Lin Ling’s small hand and leisurely left, heading towards the exit of Immortal Emperor Mountain.
