Do your parents live there too?" Mu Zhian inquired again. The silver-haired loli didn't answer. Instead, she approached Mu Zhian, looked up at him with eager eyes, and softly said, "Hold me." Why do I feel like I can't communicate with this loli? This is why I prefer mature women... Mu Zhian sighed and bent down to lift her into his arms. He was about to speak to this unfamiliar yet adorable loli. But just then, her clear and pleasant voice gently sounded in his ear, "In Jiuzhou, you all call me the Heavenly Dao." Mu Zhian almost dropped the loli from his arms in shock. Chapter 315 The Lord of the Heavenly Court · Mu Zhian 4K "You... you're the Heavenly Dao?" Mu Zhian gazed incredulously at the tiny loli before him, her resplendent red eyes shining with mystery. The Heavenly Dao is... a loli? If I ever leave here, perhaps I can boast to Ruoxi and the others that I once held up the Heavenly Dao itself... amusing just to imagine it. Amidst such an unexpected revelation, Mu Zhian found a moment to jest inwardly while also discreetly observing the silver-haired loli. Rather than calling her a loli, she seemed to be caught between girlhood and lolihood, with a slender and petite figure. As Mu Zhian studied her, she was also curiously scrutinizing him with her bright and transparent red eyes. A sweet smile appeared on her face: "That's right, I am the Heavenly Dao." "To be precise, I am the new Heavenly Dao. You may call me Yuanluo." New Heavenly Dao... Mu Zhian's eyes flickered as if connections clicked in his mind. He gently opened his personal interface. Among his titles, one glaringly stood out. ——Heavenly Dao's Blessing! And in the character designation section, Mu Zhian indeed saw a set of striking words. Within that line of text, Mu Zhian noticed a familiar phrase: "Choice of the New Heavenly Dao." Previously, after the term "Heaven's Chosen Main Character" was displayed, the description mentioned the new Heavenly Dao, so Mu Zhian had some recollection. Heavenly Dao's Blessing refers to the protection of the new Heavenly Dao... does that mean all along, she was the one safeguarding me from the shadows? But why does the new Heavenly Dao take the form of a loli... Mu Zhian had too many questions he wanted to ask or comment on, but instead, he focused on what mattered to him most presently. "Why are you in the Heavenly Court? And why this form?" "The Heavenly Dao doesn't have a fixed form; appearing like this helps suppress my power, making things more convenient," the silver-haired loli in his arms said with a cheerful smile. The concept of an emotionless Heavenly Dao was ingrained in every cultivator's mind, but at this moment, the lively and cheerful silver-haired loli contradicted that entirely. She gently pressed her slender hand against Mu Zhian's shoulder and eased out of his embrace. Then, to Mu Zhian's disbelief, a faint white glow enveloped the silver-haired loli, and her form silently shifted from a small loli to that of a tall and elegant mature woman. As the white light faded, a woman clad in a simple white dress appeared not far from Mu Zhian. With her hands gracefully crossed behind her, her slender form exuded a simple and elegant artistic aura, her smooth, cascading hair and the white gown complementing each other. Though she appeared like a young woman, her figure was remarkably striking. Whoa, she could be both cute and regal... Mu Zhian's eyes lit up. Taking a moment to collect himself, he calmed his emotions. Lifting his head, he asked, "Are you here to say something to me before I leave the Heavenly Court?" Yuanluo nodded as if it were only natural, "I thought you'd venture deeper into the Heavenly Court. I was all set to coax you, but you didn't plan on meeting me at all and were about to leave upon arriving." Her voice shifted from a sweet, gentle pitch to a more seductive tone. "Even if I wanted to, entering the Heavenly Court requires following the rules, right?" Mu Zhian said helplessly. Although he was still somewhat skeptical that this cute yet regal figure was the new Heavenly Dao, it was certain that she belonged to the Heavenly Court. "If you weren't here to meet me, what brought you to the Heavenly Court?" Yuanluo's curious red eyes looked up at him, as her figure gradually shrank back to the small loli form. As she mentioned, maintaining this form was the only way to suppress her overflowing power. The more Mu Zhian looked, the more intrigued he became by the loli, whose spiritual aura left him both unsettled and in awe. His innate spiritual sense could distinctly detect others' spiritual energy levels and realms unless they far surpassed his own. In recent times, he had encountered several beings at the Integration Realm, and only they could entirely conceal their aura, making it nearly undetectable. This loli, even if not the Heavenly Dao, must at least be at the Integration Realm level. Mu Zhian opened his palm, revealing a ring that lay exposed in the air. "I arrived in this void world through this ring, originally seeking the threshold for cultivating the Phoenix Technique..." Mu Zhian paused briefly, once more scrutinizing the silver-haired loli. "The Phoenix Technique seems to have originated from the Heavenly Court?" Yuanluo nodded slightly, a smile on her face: "The Phoenix Technique indeed stems from the Heavenly Court. This ring is also a product of the Heavenly Court, serving as one of the gateways to it." I guessed right. The First Demon Emperor left this ring because it was related to the Heavenly Court... Mu Zhian's eyes glinted, turning to Yuanluo as he asked, "From the way you speak, do you seem to know me?" Yuanluo didn't answer but lightly tugged at Mu Zhian's sleeve, looking up with pleading red eyes and outstretched arms, asking for a hug: "Big Brother, hug me." Mu Zhian found himself at a loss for words. He couldn't shake the feeling that this being didn't seem like the Heavenly Dao at all; they were acting like a mere child... Despite his thoughts, he bent down and picked Yuanluo up once more. Yuanluo cozily narrowed her eyes, seemingly enjoying her position greatly. "Do you know me?" Mu Zhian asked, looking at the silver-haired loli in his arms. Yuanluo nodded like a chick pecking grain, red eyes gleaming happily at him: "Yes, someone once told me I could meet you here, so I've never left the Heavenly Court." Mu Zhian was momentarily stunned. "So, you're saying you stayed here because of an agreement with someone?" For some reason, a certain person suddenly crossed his mind. "Shang Yanfei...?" However, the answer he received was not at all what he expected: "Nope." "Then who?" Mu Zhian asked. Yuanluo smiled at him, remaining silent. Only at moments like these did Mu Zhian feel she truly resembled the new Heavenly Dao, her gaze calm and profound, as if perceiving all that occurred in the world. Or perhaps, her previous lively demeanor was just a facade, simply emulating human mannerisms. It seemed she had no intention of explaining... seeing her silence, Mu Zhian understood and didn't press further. "Is there something you wanted to tell me by meeting me?" Mu Zhian inquired. The silver-haired loli squinted her eyes with a smile: "If I had to say, there's nothing specific. I just wanted to meet you, Big Brother." As she spoke, she leaned in and sniffed him, her small, delicate brows furrowing slightly, "You carry a mix of various spiritual energies..." "My physique has its peculiarities, so the spiritual energy in the furnace within me is likely quite complex as well," Mu Zhian explained. However, Yuanluo pointed a finger at his chest, giggling: "The innate furnace contains more than four types of spiritual energies that aren't yours, each left by an Integration Realm expert. That only happens if you've had intimate encounters with them." Though Mu Zhian was lecherous, being exposed by a little girl like this was still awkward, so he coughed lightly, shifting the topic: "If I leave the Heavenly Court, can I return here again?" "Yes," Yuanluo replied. "As long as you have that ring, you can enter the Heavenly Court anytime." "Ultimately, as long as one can find the Heavenly Court's coordinates, even without the ring, any Integration Realm expert can set foot here." "Entering the Heavenly Court itself, however, is uncertain." Yuanluo's red eyes inadvertently glanced at the grand bronze doors leading into the Heavenly Court. "So, if I wanted to stay here to cultivate, it wouldn't be a problem?" Mu Zhian asked teasingly. The spiritual aura in the Heavenly Court was several times denser than outside. If he could train here, supplemented by the pills given by some heads before, he might reach the Fifth Stage of God Refining by the Ascension Conference. However, even as Mu Zhian posed the question, he wasn't harboring much hope. After all, cultivating in such a place would essentially be cutting corners, and in theory, the Heavenly Dao is fair and impartial, and wouldn't assist any cultivator in cheating. If staying here for cultivation was possible, he could even let his innate furnace absorb the rich spiritual energy here and share it with Bai Ruoxi and the others when he returned... "You can." The next moment, Yuanluo's response left Mu Zhian momentarily stunned. Instinctively, he glanced at the silver-haired loli, his eyes reflecting a trace of surprise. "If it's you, you can do whatever you want within the Heavenly Court, as the rules permit your presence," Yuanluo continued. She agreed…? Hearing this unexpected reply, a hint of suspicion flashed in Mu Zhian's eyes. After a brief pause, he reacted and asked, "What is the Heavenly Court's rule?" He recalled Lan Mulian mentioning something similar earlier—that to absorb the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court, one must be recognized by its rules. Initially, he thought his ability to absorb the energy was due to his innate furnace, but now it seemed that was not the case? "Actually, the Heavenly Court doesn't strictly have rules," Yuanluo said. Mu Zhian, perplexed, asked, "If that's the case, why couldn't the other female cultivator who came with me absorb the spiritual energy here?" Yuanluo squinted her eyes with a smile, "Because the Heavenly Court didn't acknowledge her, so she couldn't absorb the energy." "How does one gain the Heavenly Court's acknowledgment…?" Mu Zhian wondered when the Heavenly Court recognized him. He entered together with his senior sister, yet he received acknowledgment while she didn't? "The method to absorb the Heavenly Court's spiritual energy, or to stay here long-term, is simple." Yuanluo pursed her lips and gestured toward something behind Mu Zhian. With a serene demeanor, she said to Mu Zhian, "If you can push open that door, you will gain the Heavenly Court's acknowledgment." Instinctively, Mu Zhian turned his gaze to the massive bronze door towering behind him, exuding an ancient and solemn aura that seemed to connect heaven and earth. Though he hadn't crossed its threshold, Mu Zhian felt a certainty about it. Beyond this door lay what cultivators referred to as the 'Celestial Realm,' or the Heavenly Court. Yet, the implications of Yuanluo's words were intriguing. Only by opening this door could one earn the Heavenly Court's recognition… but the issue was he hadn't even attempted to open it. With a flicker of doubt in his eyes, Mu Zhian gently set the loli down and took measured steps toward the Heavenly Court's grand door behind him. The majestic and imposing door emitted an ancient aura, flanked by two stone tablets. Mu Zhian focused his gaze on the left tablet, reading the inscribed words: "To enter this gate, one must be female and wear a short skirt…" Then he looked at the right stone tablet: "Wearing stockings made from Nirvana Silk produced by the Yaochi Holy Land…" Mu Zhian fell into a long contemplation, inwardly chuckling: The Heavenly Court ruler's tastes are quite similar to mine…? He had already begun to suspect something. In the world, can there be so many coincidences? Suppressing his smile, Mu Zhian solemnly reached out and pressed his hand against the massive door. The bronze door showed no sign of movement whatsoever. He closed his eyes slightly, attempting to channel a strand of his spiritual energy into the bronze door. Yet, there was still no reaction. Is this new Heavenly Dao messing with me? Slowly reopening his eyes, Mu Zhian was about to glance back at the loli behind him when— Boom! With a thunderous sound, the ancient and heavy door behind Mu Zhian began to creak open under his watchful gaze. At that moment, Yuanluo's gentle and clear voice floated behind him, "Actually, even without opening that door, you would still be acknowledged by the Heavenly Court." "As for the reason…" She looked up at Mu Zhian and softly said, "Because you are the one who established the rules of the Heavenly Court." … In the Southern Wilderness. Within a vast cathedral, a towering goddess statue at the cathedral's end cracked, a sliver of light revealing itself through the chasm, subsequently flowing out into the cathedral. --- Previous Chapter: Nobody Understands Being a Villain Better Than Me Next Chapter: Comprehensive Anime: Beginning As a Superhero Recommended Reading!
