Ye Siyu: "..." She was momentarily speechless. Then, with a hint of envy in her tone, Ye Siyu said, "I'm even a bit jealous of that guy... Anyway, you decide for yourself. I don't think he would mind such trivial matters." Ye Lingxue raised her head, pondering for a long time, before turning to the three-no mature lady in a plain robe beside her, "What do you think I should do?" With a calm gaze, the Reincarnated Empress replied, "It's up to you." "Then let's give him a bit of a harsh lesson," Ye Lingxue declared. "As for the other matters, there's no need to act for now... The Great Qi Dynasty cannot fall yet. Its demise would affect the fate of the Eastern Continent. Until a new Great Qi Emperor takes the throne, let's maintain the status quo." ... Dawn broke. Wei Mengrou slowly opened her eyes in the darkness. The charcoal in the house had almost burned out. She pushed the window open, breathing in the crisp air, and gradually felt more awake. Recalling the events of last night, Wei Mengrou still found it somewhat surreal. If it weren't for Gu Boxiong, she would likely have spent the night in Mu Zhian's room. That guy probably tricked Bai Ruoxi the same way last time... Wei Mengrou thought. "This feeling is wonderful, as if I possess my own body." At this moment, she suddenly heard a gentle, reminiscent voice in her heart. Wei Mengrou was startled, then responded softly, "You're awake? How are you feeling now?" "No problem," the voice of the Original Witch gently echoed in Wei Mengrou's heart, carrying a tinge of nostalgia. "I didn't expect you all to find my spiritual consciousness so quickly." "It wasn't us, it was Gu Boxiong," Wei Mengrou replied. "Where's Mu Lang? I want to see him," the Original Witch asked. Wei Mengrou couldn't help thinking about the previous day's events and replied somewhat uneasily, "He's probably meditating. It's best not to disturb him." However, the Original Witch merely said meaningfully, "You're just embarrassed to see him because of what happened last night, aren't you?" Maintaining her composure, with a voice clear and pleasant, Wei Mengrou replied, "I just don't want to interrupt his training, and besides, there are three competitions today, it's better to focus on those first." "I want to see him. It's been so long since I've seen him," the Original Witch's voice softly echoed in Wei Mengrou's heart. At that moment, an inexplicable nostalgia welled up within Wei Mengrou, leaving a hollow ache in her heart, followed quickly by an intense desire—to see him. Her gaze momentarily wavered. This was the Original Witch's obsession, which indirectly affected her without even possessing her completely. After slightly calming her emotions, Wei Mengrou softly asked, "Can you control my body directly now?" In the next moment, Wei Mengrou relaxed her spiritual consciousness and soon felt as if some presence had begun to take control of her body. Clothed in a black robe skimming her slender form, much of her face hidden beneath the black hood, a strand of silver hair slipped out. She lifted her gaze toward the window. "What's wrong?" Wei Mengrou asked. "The Green Emperor has returned," the Original Witch whispered. Her silver eyes gazed through the window, soon catching sight of Yao Mengxian, who had just returned to the courtyard. Every inch of her skin seemed to emit a faint glow, ethereal like a goddess not of this world, enveloped in a romantic mist, serene yet unimaginably beautiful. Her expression appeared calm, as if she had just stepped out for a leisurely walk. Sensing the gaze of the Original Witch, Yao Meng slightly turned her head, a hint of surprise in her eyes as she softly spoke, "You have recovered?" The past Original Witch was merely a lingering obsession, but now she was clearly a spiritual consciousness—not merely a fleeting notion, but a lasting essence unaffected by the world’s cycles. The Original Witch nodded gently, "Almost." Yao Meng's brows relaxed, and with a soft, bright smile accompanying her moonlit elegance, she said, "That's good to hear." "He used to worry about you constantly. Now it's nice; he can be at ease with me." As soon as these words fell, the surroundings outside the room plunged into silence. Acting as if she hadn’t noticed, Yao Meng turned to leave. The Original Witch called out softly, "Since the past, I have been his beloved. It would be best for you, Yao Mengxianzi, not to interfere in our relationship, lest the world finds it laughable." By this, she meant that in a past life, we were companions. If feelings are to be compared, I came first, not you. Yet, she underestimated Yao Meng. This extraordinary fairy turned slightly, calmly casting a gentle, radiant glance at the Original Witch. "I don’t know if you were there first in the past life," she replied. "But I know that in this life, I am the one who came first." Chapter 309 You Should Not Have Come 5K Enforcement Hall. Within the grand hall, several head figures gathered, with the master of the Enforcement Hall sitting at the forefront, offering the esteemed visitors the finest tea. Xiao Lin, head of the Hidden Sword Peak, after taking a sip, looked up at the stern square-faced elder brother seated before him—master of the Enforcement Hall, Bai Xinghe. "If according to the intelligence you provided earlier, this Mu Zhian poses no issues... are you suggesting his acquaintance with the Green Emperor is purely a serendipitous opportunity?" Xiao Lin asked with a frown. Following the conclusion of the Ascension Conference yesterday, Xiao Lin had come to the Enforcement Hall with several other heads to investigate, as information on any disciple within the sect could be found there. For ordinary disciples, these heads would not usually pay much attention. However, the Green Emperor's unexpected appearance at Mu Zhian's contest drew interest. Moreover, news came today from the Great Qi Dynasty that the Green Emperor visited last night, possibly negotiating something with the Imperial Teacher... undoubtedly, this was another incident where he stood up for Mu Zhian. Combined, these events were impossible to ignore. After all, for a grand cultivator in the Harmonization realm to care so much about a little cultivator was, in itself, perplexing. "Recently, several head figures, including Yi Hao and Yu Ziyan, broke through obstacles that had encumbered them for several years, even over a decade. This happened precisely after the Green Emperor's tribulation... it's hard not to associate these events," Ning Yuan commented thoughtfully. The vice head of Hidden Sword Peak casually glanced at Yi Hao on the opposite side, noticing him sipping tea nonchalantly, and quipped, "Yi Shidi, is there nothing you want to share?" Yi Hao, whose cultivation was previously lower than his, experienced a massive boost after supposedly gaining a celestial encounter post the Green Emperor's tribulation. Even the most composed heads struggled to maintain their poise. At this rate, Yi Hao and others' future prowess might leave them far behind. Yi Hao gently brewed his tea, smiling, "My fellow brothers, let's not make things difficult for me. I cannot reveal matters concerning the senior Green Emperor, lest it costs me dearly if she finds out." The master Bai Xinghe chuckled, "We aren't looking to cause trouble, Shidi. I merely have one question." "The inner disciple Yan Ruoxi accepted, does she have significant connections with the Green Emperor? Is she particularly valued?" Bai Xinghe asked, his gaze gentle upon Yi Hao. Among the head figures, Yi Hao was youngest in terms of longevity, yet his cultivation surged, attributed supposedly to the celestial fortune from the Green Emperor. Initially, those who didn't receive the celestial opportunity assumed Yi Hao was merely lucky. But now it’s evident… this was no simple fortune; doors were opened for him. Mu Zhian is in a relationship with Cang Hai Peak's inner disciple Bai Ruoxi, and the Green Emperor possibly benefited from Mu Zhian, thus holding him in high regard. This connection explains why Yan Ruoxi and others received the Green Emperor’s bestowed celestial fortunes one after another. Under the scrutiny of his peers, Yi Hao gently placed his tea cup down, sighing, "My fellow brothers, it's not that I won’t speak, but that the Green Emperor prefers not to be disturbed. So, we and the other disciples have had to conceal this secret as best as we could..." No sooner had he said this than the heads began cursing in frustration. "Shameless brat!" "Hmph!" "I've never seen someone as shameless as you!" Their envy was quickly apparent, wishing they could tear Yi Hao apart on the spot. The celestial fortune of a Harmonization level cultivator is often a matter of ‘fate,’ something one may encounter but can't actively seek. Yet, knowing this, he hoarded the fortune solely for himself. Now, it turns out, Yi Hao satiated his hunger while leaving his senior brothers behind at a standstill. "In fact, this is all a form of creation and celestial destiny," Yi Hao modestly said, greeting his senior brothers with a respectful bow. Realization slowly dawned upon the group on why Yi Hao and his peers made frequent deliveries of elixirs to Tianhe Park in past days. Initially, they assumed this was due to the fact that those at Tianhe Park were inner disciples, thus granting them additional attention from the senior figures. But now, it seems that these figures had their eyes on the Green Emperor behind Mu Zhian all along. "No wonder Junior Sister Yan chose Mu Zhian as an inner disciple; she must have foreseen this outcome," one elder remarked with a trace of admiration. Upon hearing this, a tinge of confusion flickered in Yi Hao’s eyes. Logically speaking, when selecting inner disciples, Mu Zhian hadn’t even encountered the Green Emperor yet—how could it be because of the Emperor? Perhaps it was for the Linglong... or maybe, Mu Zhian still held other secrets? "Alright, everyone calm down. This behavior is unbecoming. We are amidst the Ascension Conference, and soon, disciples could come reporting on the proceedings. Let's not make fools of ourselves," Bai Xinghe calmly interjected. Bai Xinghe commanded a high level of respect among the senior figures, so despite their inner turmoil, they gradually composed themselves. Then, Bai Xinghe turned his gentle gaze to Yi Hao, "Once, the vice-master of the Enforcement Hall mentioned that Linglong and Mu Zhian came here together... could it be that this disciple has also obtained celestial fortune from Linglong?" Yi Hao hesitated for a moment, then gave a slight nod. At this, the vice head of Huabao Peak scoffed, "Linglong resides in Tianhe Park; how could that disciple Mu Zhian not have gained celestial fortune from Linglong?" This statement made the senior figures shift uncomfortably, their gaze toward Yi Hao turning increasingly sour. Since Dao Peak, Tianji Peak, and the Library Pavilion's leaders had not arrived, Yi Hao, as the beneficiary, bore the brunt of their frustration. They felt like they had missed out on a windfall of divine fortune—the regret was akin to watching billions of spirit stones slip through their fingers. Nonetheless, Bai Xinghe maintained a calm demeanor, smiling at Yi Hao, "Junior Brother, it seems you’ve reached the sixth stage of Returning Void—find time tomorrow to spar with your senior on the Ascension Platform." Yi Hao's expression instantly turned sour. In recent times, the Eight-Treasure Crane of Canghai Peak was nearly devoured by Linglong, dwindling their painstakingly nurtured spirit fowl. Now, to be reproached on top of it all brought nothing but grievance to his heart. Then again, beneath the surface, there was an undeniable satisfaction. Truth be told, his Eight-Treasure Crane hadn’t been devoured in vain. At the very least, Linglong had bestowed upon him a share of fortune energy, which would greatly benefit his future cultivation. A few spirit fowls lost here and there—it was of no real consequence. "It's been a while since I have left the Enforcement Hall. I lack a true grasp of the current state of our disciples." Bai Xinghe paused, then smiled, "Why don’t we take this opportunity to go out for a stroll and perhaps visit that disciple Mu Zhian... what do you all think?" Resounding nods of agreement filled the hall, each elder clearly unwilling to let go of such an opportunity. Several of them had been stuck at certain bottlenecks for over a decade without progress, and faced with immense celestial fortune, none wanted to let it slip away. Watching this unfold, Yi Hao could only shake his head helplessly. The Green Emperor had granted them celestial fortune in consideration of Mu Zhian, but favors of this nature were always limited. It was unlikely the Green Emperor would extend such fortunes further for Mu Zhian's sake. After all, the Harmonization tribulation happens but once, and with it, only so much celestial fortune can be bestowed. Trying to curry favor with Mu Zhian now would be too late. No matter how favored Mu Zhian might be, persuading the Green Emperor to give other senior figures such fortune would be overstepping—and quite disrespectful to the Emperor. Of course, Yi Hao had these thoughts but wouldn’t voice them now. Instead, he followed the senior figures as they vacated the hall, heading towards Tianhe Park. ... Tianhe Park. After circulating his spiritual energy through several cycles, Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes. The Tianhuang Technique allows the rejuvenation of exhausted spiritual energy, burning the cauldron of one's essence. Using it in battle was akin to having an extra life. After a night of effort, Mu Zhian had finally... finally realized there wouldn’t be any near-term breakthroughs. "This technique is truly tailored for demi-humans; as a human cultivator, accessing it feels significantly challenging..." Mu Zhian looked toward the storage ring left behind by the original Demon Emperor, shaking his head in silent lament. In theory, techniques are not strictly divided between demi-humans and human cultivators—most are universal. Moreover, he had previously refined an Earth Elixir Phoenix Fruit, which had significantly lowered the entry threshold... yet, even so, achieving initial access in the short-term seemed out of reach. The entry barrier for a top-grade technique was far higher than he had imagined. Under special circumstances yesterday, he should have consulted the Empress of the Demon Realm—perhaps she could provide some valuable insight... Mu Zhian thought to himself.
