It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists
Chapter 529: A Transcendence Realm Innate Celestial Furnace, Even the Heavenly Dao is Attracted? p1

At this moment, silence fell upon the Forbidden Zone, countless gazes fixed on Mu Zhian in astonishment, a huge question mark appearing in everyone’s minds.

That was the Heavenly Dao, not a human, but a ‘god’ who could rewrite the rules of heaven and earth. No cultivator in the Nine Provinces would ever think of defying the Heavenly Dao.

Yet now, someone dared to assault her, even desecrate this god-like existence?

Mu Zhian didn’t know what everyone was thinking. He was simply pouring the Spiritual Energy from his Innate Celestial Furnace into the Heavenly Dao’s will, trying to break down her unyielding resolve.

The woman instinctively wanted to push Mu Zhian away, but feeling the warm Spiritual Energy pouring in, a flicker of something appeared in her emotionless eyes.

This Spiritual Energy… was completely different from the Spiritual Energy of the Nine Provinces, even different from the Spiritual Energy of the ‘Firmament’.

For the Heavenly Dao’s will, there were no such commands as ’emotions’ or ‘shyness’. She didn’t immediately kill Mu Zhian, who had desecrated her, because she wanted to confirm what this Spiritual Energy was and where it came from.

The Heavenly Dao wouldn’t allow any variables in this world, so she needed to understand the origin of this Spiritual Energy.

“Analyzing Spiritual Energy…”

This command seemed to echo in the woman’s mind, her eyes gradually losing focus, her gaze blank.

“Analyzing…”

“Analyzing…”

Having received this command, the Heavenly Dao’s will began to analyze the composition of the Innate Celestial Furnace’s Spiritual Energy.

She let Mu Zhian embrace her, a sacred aura emanating from her, making even Mu Zhian almost want to submit.

But he gazed at the woman’s flawless face and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, beneath her armor.

No matter how sacred she was, it meant nothing to a lecher.

At the same time, Mu Zhian didn’t dare relax, continuously pouring the Spiritual Energy from his Innate Celestial Furnace into the Heavenly Dao’s will.

He didn’t know if his Innate Celestial Furnace could affect the Heavenly Dao’s will, but this was the best solution he could think of.

Not defeating several Dao Integration Realm experts simultaneously during the tribulation, but preventing this Heavenly Tribulation from happening in the first place.

The only way to achieve this was to corrupt the Heavenly Dao’s will.

Not him submitting to the Heavenly Dao, but having the Heavenly Dao’s will become addicted to him.

As the Spiritual Energy within the Innate Celestial Furnace surged into the Heavenly Dao’s will, Mu Zhian realized for the first time just how terrifying the ‘Heavenly Dao’ was.

No one had ever been able to drain nearly one-third of his Spiritual Energy in such a short time.

I wanted to corrupt her, but I didn’t plan to throw myself in entirely… Mu Zhian’s eyelids twitched. Although the Innate Celestial Furnace’s Spiritual Energy was useless to him, being completely drained in one go, he was worried it might cause some unforeseen changes in the Heavenly Dao.

He restrained his Spiritual Energy, took half a step back, and carefully observed the woman’s changes.

Just a moment ago, this embodiment of the Heavenly Dao’s will was like a lofty goddess standing above the tribulation clouds, looking down at the beings below.

Yet now, the Heavenly Dao’s will stood motionless, ripples appearing in her unfocused eyes, like a complex machine suddenly malfunctioning.

The tribulation clouds in the night sky were gradually dissipating, not descending into a nine-lifetime tribulation like before.

Ye Lingxuan, seeing this, wanted to approach, but the Reincarnated Empress stopped her.

“Let’s wait a bit longer. Rashly entering the Heavenly Tribulation now might endanger both you and Mu Zhian.”

No one knew if the Heavenly Tribulation was truly over. Although the tribulation clouds were dissipating, it seemed Mu Zhian hadn’t reached Soul Transformation yet.

If they approached now, and the Heavenly Tribulation wasn’t over, the difficulty might double.

“Analyzing…”

Complex characters seemed to flash through the woman’s unfocused eyes every second, clearly searching for the origin of Mu Zhian’s Spiritual Energy.

“Brother Mu, are you alright?”

After nearly half an hour, Ye Lingxuan finally couldn’t help but approach Mu Zhian and ask hurriedly with concern.

“I’m fine,” Mu Zhian shook his head slightly, but his eyes remained wary of the woman before him, “However, this Heavenly Dao seems a bit unusual, don’t get too close.”

Ye Lingxuan looked at Mu Zhian suspiciously, “Don’t tell me Brother Mu has fallen for her?”

“Just so you know, she’s the will of the Heavenly Dao given form. She doesn’t have human emotions, so she can’t be deceived by your sweet talk, Brother Mu, don’t waste your time.”

Mu Zhian was stunned, looking at the young girl’s knowing eyes, and couldn’t help but flick her forehead lightly, “Do I look like I’m in the mood for women right now? I’m just thinking of a way to get revenge.”

He had been struck by Heavenly Tribulation four times just now, and counting the initial nine levels, a total of five times… If it weren’t for the Primordial Witch’s Protection, Mu Zhian would probably have been annihilated by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Having suffered so much, how could Mu Zhian let her off easily?

Hearing this, Ye Lingxuan covered her forehead and hummed softly.

“That’s true, although Brother Mu is a womanizer, you still have your limits…”

She glanced at the woman who stood motionless, “She looks a lot like the Jade Empress.”

Although she didn’t want to admit it, among the people Ye Lingxuan knew, the Jade Empress was the closest to being flawlessly beautiful.

Mu Zhian was stunned: “What does this have to do with Yao Meng?”

However, Ye Lingxuan quickly shook her head and said with a smile, “Nothing, just be careful, Brother Mu—”

Just as the young girl was about to leave,

“I thought you wouldn’t acknowledge my beauty, Little Sister Lingxuan,” a crisp, immortal voice suddenly echoed through the open space.

Mu Zhian reacted almost instantly, turning his head towards the voice and seeing the fairy standing in mid-air at some unknown time.

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly, “Jade Empress, didn’t you leave?”

Yao Meng glanced at her and said faintly, “I was already in Tianxuan City, but I sensed the commotion here and came to check, somewhat worried.”

“I didn’t expect it to be such a big fuss.”

Yao Meng gracefully walked towards them, stepping on the void, ripples spreading with each step. Her tall figure was faintly visible in the hazy immortal mist, her gentle gaze fixed on the ‘Heavenly Dao’s will’.

“Nearly one-fifth of the Heavenly Dao’s will, just to stop you from reaching Soul Transformation, the Heavenly Dao is truly going to great lengths.”

Her soft and melodious voice carried a hint of amusement, “If I didn’t know the Heavenly Dao didn’t have human emotions, I would have thought you wronged her in your past life or something, for her to try so hard to stop your Soul Transformation in this life.”

This was truly absurd. Normally, whose tribulation would alarm the Heavenly Dao, even making it descend with a part of its will to personally oversee the trial?

Even the breathtakingly beautiful Jade Empress didn’t expect Mu Zhian’s Soul Transformation to attract the Heavenly Dao itself.

Mu Zhian fell silent.

Not just Yao Meng, even he hadn’t expected this.

Yao Meng’s gaze quickly fell on Mu Zhian, a hint of apology in her eyes, “Sorry, I thought your Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation was a sure thing, but it seems I underestimated your importance in the Heavenly Dao’s eyes.”

Her gaze then shifted to the ‘Heavenly Dao’s will’ for the first time.

“What’s wrong with her…?”

A puzzled look appeared in Yao Meng’s eyes.

She had just arrived and didn’t know what had happened here earlier.

Ye Lingxuan glanced at the young man, recalling Mu Zhian’s bold actions earlier, her heart filled with complex emotions, and remained silent.

Although she knew Mu Zhian’s intimacy with the Heavenly Dao was out of necessity, it still made her feel uneasy.

Mu Zhian coughed lightly and changed the subject, “Anyway, you should all stay away from me, just in case she wakes up. It would be troublesome if the Heavenly Tribulation involves you all.”

Yao Meng narrowed her eyes, looking at the young man suspiciously, then at the motionless ‘Heavenly Dao’s will’, a strange feeling in her heart.

She had sensed the commotion here in the Forbidden Zone from Tianxuan City earlier and came here intending to stop the Heavenly Dao from cheating or something.

However, after arriving, she only saw the Heavenly Dao’s embodiment standing there motionless… and it seemed that Mu Zhian hadn’t even reached Soul Transformation yet, and the Heavenly Tribulation had mysteriously vanished.

“Something I don’t know must have happened…”

Thinking of this, Yao Meng discreetly glanced at Mu Zhian again and nodded silently.

“It’s quite lively here. I figured you wouldn’t be at ease leaving him alone in the Forbidden Zone for his tribulation.”

Just then, a cool voice with a hint of charm echoed through the Forbidden Zone.

High in the sky, a spatial rift had been torn open at some point.

A woman in a white palace dress with bright plum blossoms embroidered on it stepped out from the rift. Her ample bosom strained the fabric, and a silver, bronze sword pattern was faintly visible in the depths of her cleavage.

“Palace Master,” Mu Zhian almost blurted out.

“I thought you would patiently wait in the Sword Palace for him to come find you,” Yao Meng said with a smile.

Gong Lianyue sneered, “I just wanted to give him some freedom, unlike someone who’s constantly trying to seduce him. With so many people watching, if they knew the Jade Pool Holy Land fairy was secretly a vixen who pleasures men under tables, I wonder what they would think.”

Palace Master’s become so aggressive after just half a month… Mu Zhian was shocked.

Yao Meng raised a delicate eyebrow, “Pleasuring men under tables? Has Palace Master forgotten what you did at the Two Polarities Sect that time?”

At the Two Polarities Sect, Bai Ruoxi was the dominant one, even serving together with the Jade Empress…

And Bai Ruoxi was kneeling at the side… Gong Lianyue had clearly seen everything in the World of the Heart. Hearing this, a blush quickly spread across her usually cold face, her imposing aura seemingly diminishing.

Then, she snorted coldly, “That was another me, it has nothing to do with me.”

Indeed, it wasn’t her who wanted Mu Zhian’s Spiritual Energy, it was all Bai Ruoxi…

Ye Lingxuan, listening to their conversation, was momentarily confused. She subconsciously looked at Yao Meng, then at Gong Lianyue, and hesitated, “What are you talking about?”

This isn’t good… Mu Zhian’s eyelids twitched, “You should all stay away from me, in case you’re affected by the Heavenly Tribulation.”
