Even if she forcefully traversed the Path to reach the Heavenly Court, she would receive nothing from it. However... Yao Meng, without using any spiritual energy, stood safely before the Path. Logically, there should be no difference between her and Yao Meng. But why was Yao Meng able to step onto the Path, while she was denied? "This Path to Immortality has rarely been seen throughout history, but now it descends upon Jiuzhou due to the First Demon Emperor's death? Quite intriguing." Suddenly, a deep male voice came from behind. A man in black robes, with a commanding presence, lifted his head to gaze at the Path with profoundly deep eyes. He soon shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the time isn’t ripe. This Path is but an illusion; no one can truly step upon it." "Master of the Forbidden Zone!" Someone in the crowd immediately recognized the man in black robes, their eyes filled with worship. Luo Tan nodded silently. Her white dress, lined with gold, fluttered wildly in the cold wind as she raised her head to gaze at the beautiful woman in the blue dress standing before the Path, then averted her eyes. Although she didn't know why the Path hadn't rejected Yao Meng, it wasn't the time to become immortal yet. Besides, whether Yao Meng could even set foot in the Heavenly Court was still uncertain. Even if she could, Yao Meng couldn't absorb any spiritual energy from the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, she might have been the first to ascend to immortality. As Empress Yu was about to look away and leave, a faint sense of confusion flashed in her eyes when the corner of her eye caught the silhouette at the path’s end. The silhouette of this black-robed man was obscured by mist, yet his mere presence was extraordinary, like an Immortal Emperor descending the world... But why did he seem so strangely familiar? It felt as if... she had seen this person somewhere before. ... Elsewhere, the Master of the Forbidden Zone had just left Liangyi Peak when he encountered Ye Lingxuan, who cheerfully called out, "Dad!" His previously stern face softened significantly as he gazed warmly at his daughter. "How is your cultivation going here?" Ye Lingxuan nodded gently, smiling, "The allure of the Path to Immortality is tremendous; it even caught your attention." The Master of the Forbidden Zone shook his head with a smile, "I have little interest in the Heavenly Court. It's your mother who's worried about you during this Ascension Festival, so I'm here to check on you." Saying this, he scrutinized Ye Lingxuan, squinting his eyes, "Where is that boy from the Mu family?" He could sense the changes in Ye Lingxuan, her energy now mingled with that of Mu Zhian, indicating their closeness upon returning to the sect. At the sudden mention of Mu Zhian, a slight blush crept over Ye Lingxuan's face. She twirled a lock of her hair between her fingers and whispered, "During the Ascension Festival, Brother Mu is also busy preparing." She paused, then continued, "Otherwise, without a decent ranking, you’d be displeased with him, right?" When Ye Lingxuan said this, she glanced at her father, her tone unabashedly discontented. She couldn't understand why her father disapproved of Mu Zhian. Clearly, Brother Mu was considerate and gentle, always bringing little surprises. Apart from being easily swayed by temptations, he had no flaws. But that temptation could be overcome in the future by bringing Brother Mu into the Forbidden Zone. His lack of resolve could be strengthened with practice. Later, she could help Mu Zhian strengthen his resolve… alongside Qian. The Master of the Forbidden Zone sneered, "Are you sure your Brother Mu is diligently cultivating?" "According to my observations, he's likely enjoying the company of some woman." Ye Lingxuan retorted defiantly, "Why do you slander Brother Mu?" He laughed coldly, "Slander? I see in him a reflection of my younger self... I was even more flirtatious than him back then, so I know perfectly well what's on his mind." Ye Lingxuan: "..." "Where's your Lock of Time? If you don't believe me, use it to see exactly where he is right now." Still unconvinced and skeptical, Ye Lingxuan waved her hand, and a golden chain appeared from her sleeve, gliding out from her fair wrist. Her father raised his hand, and the Lock of Time paused in his palm. With a flick of his sleeve, one end of the Lock shot toward Liangyi Peak, soon vanishing only to reappear in a secluded courtyard. The other end of the Lock expanded into a rectangular shape. This was one of its abilities—allowing its user to observe and see the target's location and actions, as long as they weren't too far away. The target was Mu Zhian. Yet, Ye Lingxuan was only at the Transformation Realm, and this spying ability only activated at the Void Returning Realm. When she eventually reached that realm, she could see what Mu Zhian did every single day. The next moment, an image materialized before their eyes. The image depicted a courtyard. Lan Muli, her spiritual sense just returned, was quietly watching Mu Zhian. She was elegant and beautiful, with a slender figure and a pristine white dress adorned with subtle golden moon patterns. After a moment of hesitation, this aloof senior gently brushed aside Mu Zhian's hair. Throughout, Mu Zhian remained motionless. Ye Lingxuan bit her lip, her deep and expressive eyes lingering on him. Brother Mu wasn't cultivating; he was visiting his senior sister. Despite saying he'd be busy with cultivation... Meanwhile, her father’s eyes flickered in surprise, "Something's wrong... his spiritual sense isn't in his body." Ye Lingxuan blinked with a glimmer of hope, looking at her father, "Dad, what does that mean?" But the Master of the Forbidden Zone remained silent, focusing intently on the boy. Realization dawning, his thoughts racing, he slowly raised his head to gaze at the end of the Path to Immortality. The silhouettes of the black-robed young man and Mu Zhian began to merge as one. After what seemed an eternity, he emerged from his reverie, and in the presence of Ye Lingxuan's gaze, murmured in disbelief, "The master of the Heavenly Court... could it be him?" ... ... 【6k, Please Vote!】 Chapter 317: Tear, Tear It Apart! 5K The Master of the Forbidden Zone stood with eyes fixed on the end of the Path to Immortality. At that moment, the man at the path’s end was shrouded in a hazy white mist, with glyphs seemingly glowing behind him, exuding extraordinary power. For most, their first sight of him would evoke awe. However, with his knowledge of the Heavenly Court, the longer the Master of the Forbidden Zone looked at this figure, the more peculiar it seemed. Others may not perceive the true form beyond the mist, but he could. The mysterious figure gradually overlapped with a boy whose spiritual sense was absent from his body. "Dad, what are you looking at?" Ye Lingxuan asked. She followed his gaze, looking up at the ethereal Path to Immortality and the man shrouded in light. Unlike many female cultivators whose eyes sparkled with admiration, Ye Lingxuan felt serene, even calm. To her, entering the Heavenly Court or not was irrelevant. Upon reaching unity with the Dao, she'd be immortal regardless. Yet, from the start, she paid unusual attention to this black-robed man. He seemed uncannily familiar. "Do you know him, Dad?" Ye Lingxuan asked, her eyes bright and curious. The complexity of his thoughts reflected in his eyes as he returned from his reverie to gaze at his daughter in her purple dress. The spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court could be forcibly absorbed by the powerful ones in the Unification Realm, though forced efforts bore little fruit. For him, walking the Path would have little value. But his daughter was different. While others might not see beyond the consuming mist, the Master could. "How developed is the soaring dragon in you?" he inquired. Ye Lingxuan hesitated, "About fifty percent." Dragon Beard Vine, a gift from Mu Zhian to Ye Lingxuan, originates from the early chaos period. Refining it allows one to acquire a strand of fragmented chaotic energy in the future. However, the remnants of this ancient herb would have withered long ago if not for Ye Lingxuan's innate ability as a source of Reincarnation Water, which managed to keep it alive. The Master of the Forbidden Zone waved his hand, dismissing the image presented by the Lock of Time. He then spoke, "Reincarnation Water can nurture the withering Dragon Beard Vine. The longer you use Reincarnation Water to sustain it during your refinement, the more chaotic energy you can obtain in the future, greatly benefiting your path." "If, during this period, you can acquire richer spiritual energy to nourish the Dragon Beard Vine, you might even cultivate a complete strand of chaotic energy." When chaos first emerged, a fire appeared in Jiuzhou that didn't burn but instead nurtured the earth with chaotic energy. Over time, seas turned to mulberry fields, and plants evolved due to this energy, though most vanished in the river of history. Yet Dragon Beard Vine is a surviving relic from that historical river. Ye Lingxuan nodded slightly, "I know how to handle it, don't worry, Dad." "Even if I can't get a complete chaotic energy, just a fragment is enough." "The Heavenly Court's spiritual energy is unique. If it could nurture the Dragon Beard Vine, it might bloom in its most perfect form," her father sighed. Ye Lingxuan smiled nonchalantly, "I understand, Dad. Anything else you wanted?" The Master raised an eyebrow, "Can't we chat a bit more if there's nothing pressing?" Ye Lingxuan grinned, "I want to win the Ascension Festival competition, so if there's nothing else, I'd like to return to meditate and cultivate..." Especially since Brother Mu is still with his senior sister, and she was just being a bit too handsy with him. It’s somewhat unsettling... Naturally, the Master noticed his daughter's concern and waved his hand, sighing, "Fine, go ahead.” Even though he didn't like the 'pig' that was interested in his 'cabbage' (a metaphor for Ye Lingxuan), apart from Mu Zhian's indecisive nature, he was almost perfect. At least based on his initial expectations, even though Ye Lingxuan was exceptionally talented, it seemed improbable she would comprehend a hint of Dao rhythm so soon. And this achievement was due to Mu Zhian's support. Moreover, Mu Zhian's true supportive capabilities far exceeded just being a natural vessel of talent. As the Master watched his daughter leave, a complicated emotion lingered in his eyes. If only Mu Zhian were more focused, he would be the perfect Dao partner... Unfortunately, like himself in his youth, he was too fickle. Quietly, the Master shook his head and sighed. Though he was the Master of the Forbidden Zone, even now, he had more than one Dao partner... … Unaware of the external happenings, Mu Zhian remained immersed in his world, absorbing the spiritual energy from the Heavenly Court. After nearly an hour, he finally opened his eyes. He accessed his personal interface and found a new title at the end of the list of existing ones. Though the text within the box was somewhat blurry, Mu Zhian immediately deciphered what it described. "Master of the Heavenly Court..." Staring at this newly appeared title, Mu Zhian fell into a pensive state. This title wasn't fully activated; its text remained partly unreadable. "I seem to grasp the general structure of the Heavenly Court, likely due to absorbing its spiritual energy..." He mused inwardly, turning to the silver-haired loli beside him, "Yuanluo, have you been secretly observing or protecting me?" "The Heavenly Dao doesn't favor specific individuals, but indeed, I have discreetly sheltered you in the past."
