Chapter 466: Sect Master Sister, Was This Also Part of Your Plan?!
Sword Palace.
This floating city, eternally suspended above the Eastern Continent, was surrounded by over a hundred light swords. Brilliance radiated outwards from the Sword Palace like ripples, appearing especially magnificent and vast.
And today, under the sky, dark clouds gathered, pressing down like a siege. Lightning flickered between the clouds, as if wanting to tear apart the entire sky.
A tall and slender beauty held a rusty Bronze Sword. Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and the wind pressed her white palace dress against her curvaceous and sexy figure, her bosom proudly straining the fabric, as if swaying in the wind…
Bai Ruoxi gathered her slightly messy hair, her voice soft and weak, and asked, “Is Palace Master ready?”
The last time the Jade Empress transcended, great powers from all sides secretly interfered.
And this time, Gong Lianyue would probably face the same situation.
It might even be more troublesome than the Jade Empress.
After all, the Transcendence Realm meant completely escaping the Heavenly Dao’s control. Being unrestricted by heavenly rules meant being an uncontrollable factor, something the Heavenly Dao couldn’t allow.
The last time the Jade Empress transcended, it was under the guise of a grand wedding, diverting everyone’s attention. But Gong Lianyue’s Transcendence this time was different.
“Even the most difficult Heart Demon Tribulation has been overcome, what can the Heavenly Tribulation of Transcendence do?” Gong Lianyue said calmly.
At this moment, the only Sword Emperor in the Nine Provinces held her sword with both hands, lazily leaning against the Wall of the Heart, adjusting her state.
Unlike Bai Ruoxi, she wore a black palace dress, her aura imposing and extraordinary, the complete opposite of a delicate young lady like Bai Ruoxi.
“This Heart Demon Tribulation, in a sense, was thanks to the Jade Empress,” Bai Ruoxi said softly.
“If it weren’t for her, I would probably have to expend a lot of mental energy on the Heart Demon Tribulation. Having to face the Heavenly Tribulation of Transcendence afterward would be too exhausting.”
Gong Lianyue snorted coldly: “Did she sincerely want to help this Palace Master? It was nothing more than a blatant scheme.”
Although she said that, the Sword Empress’s heart was still somewhat conflicted.
The most difficult part of the Transcendence Tribulation was the Heart Demon Tribulation. No one could be completely free from attachments, everyone had desires, even Dao Integration Realm experts.
She had thought this Heart Demon Tribulation would be full of obstacles, but… she actually passed through it quite easily.
The Heart Demon Tribulation had three levels. The first heart demon Gong Lianyue encountered was her lifelong pursuit—Transcendence and Immortal Ascension.
The second was wanting to experience the wonders of the Innate Celestial Furnace again… preferably the young Mu Zhian.
As for the third, it was tying up that holy and noble fairy in the eyes of the world with the Heart-Binding Lock, letting the Jade Empress watch how her ‘husband’ was ‘bullied’ by her.
Mmm… The last two heart demons were both related to Mu Zhian.
Under normal circumstances, most people would be lost in the Heart Demon Tribulation, or rather, immersed in the illusion created by the Heart Demon Tribulation.
Even a peerlessly beautiful Sword Emperor like Gong Lianyue was no exception.
However, she entered seclusion with anger. Until the last second before seclusion, all she thought about was how to tie up that bitch Jade Empress and let her watch as the ‘cake’ was devoured bit by bit.
Therefore, even during seclusion, Gong Lianyue’s obsession still remained.
And this obsession unexpectedly became the key to breaking through the Heart Demon Tribulation…
She knew the Jade Empress was using a blatant scheme, but there was nothing she could do. After all, no matter what, the final result was that she did receive help from the Jade Empress.
Although that black-bellied fairy was probably just enjoying the pleasure of ‘cuckolding’.
Bai Ruoxi walked out of the Sword Palace against the cold wind, her long hair cascading down to her slender waist, a golden sword light faintly flickering behind her.
Just then, she seemed to sense something and turned her head. She saw that, at some unknown time, the young man’s familiar figure had already appeared in her vision.
“Mu Lang…”
Bai Ruoxi’s originally cold eyes softened somewhat. After gazing for a moment, her gaze casually shifted to Yao Meng beside him.
“The Jade Empress is also here.”
Yao Meng raised her delicate brows slightly, her entire being as if in the immortal realm. Her alluring red lips parted slightly, and she said, “Palace Master can undergo the tribulation with peace of mind today. This Seat will protect you.”
Her voice was calm, but ripples of Spiritual Energy spread outwards.
Her pleasant and calm voice sounded like heavenly music to the Eastern Continent cultivators, but the higher the cultivator’s realm, the more they could sense the dangerous aura within her words.
To the ancient beings who were originally restless, this voice was like a storm raging in their hearts.
The Jade Empress was actually going to protect the Sword Palace Master, helping her transcend and ascend?!
These ancient beings couldn’t understand, feeling that the Jade Empress had ulterior motives.
After all, she could be invincible in the Nine Provinces, yet now she was helping others, bringing trouble upon herself?
The next moment, black patterns gradually spread across Bai Ruoxi’s pristine white palace dress. Gong Lianyue slowly opened her eyes, gazing in Yao Meng’s direction.
“You don’t need to feel grateful to me. You helped me before, and this time, I’m just repaying you for protecting me in the past, nothing more.”
As if understanding Gong Lianyue’s thoughts, Yao Meng said softly with a smile.
Gong Lianyue snorted coldly, her figure turning into a divine light soaring into the sky, as if she was above the nine heavens. The one hundred and eight light swords outside the Sword Palace quietly dimmed, becoming nourishment for Gong Lianyue.
A golden ‘sun’ appeared behind her, like heavenly fire suspended in mid-air.
Within the Eastern Continent, countless long-sealed swords hummed simultaneously. Many cultivators desperately used Spiritual Energy to suppress their swords, preventing them from leaving their sheaths. However, the moment Gong Lianyue extended her hand, thousands of spirit swords, as if possessing their own consciousness, surged towards the Sword Palace.
There was only one Sword Emperor in this world. Although she had severed her connection with the Heavenly Dao in the past, causing damage to her cauldron, it was also repaired under Mu Zhian’s ‘careful attention’. She even walked her own path again, resonating with the ‘New Heavenly Dao’, her strength naturally extraordinary.
A loud rumble came from high in the sky, as if wanting to shatter the heavens, instantly causing a sensation throughout the Eastern Continent.
Some old monsters who were in slumber opened their eyes, angrily intending to settle the score with the one who disturbed them. Then, they rushed out of their secluded grotto-heavens, looked up at the sky, and silently returned to their grotto-heavens.
“You and the Spirit Dragon stay in the Sword Palace. I’ll go protect her.”
After Yao Meng finished speaking, her immortal body gradually became hazy, turning into a streak of green light flying towards the sky.
How nice, the fish in the fishpond are all helping each other, it wasn’t in vain that I went through so much trouble in the past… Mu Zhian looked at this harmonious scene, feeling quite gratified.
Oh, it would be even better if Yao Meng and Ruoxi could be together sometime…
Just then, Lin Ling suddenly tugged at Mu Zhian’s clothes, writing and drawing something in her small notebook.
Mu Zhian thought she was concerned about what he had just said to Yao Meng. However, turning his head to look, he saw Lin Ling writing crookedly in her small notebook: “Why is there chaotic aura within your body?”
“You can sense what’s in my Innate Celestial Furnace?” Mu Zhian asked in surprise, somewhat incredulous.
Lin Ling pointed at Mu Zhian’s storage ring and continued writing: “The treasure that shields your Innate Celestial Furnace was given to you by me, and I’m inherently more sensitive to treasures.”
I didn’t realize you also know how to treasure hunt, Lin Ling. No wonder you’re called the ‘Daughter of the Great Dao’.
Then, he took out a talisman from his storage ring. On the talisman was a creature drawn like a ghostly scribble. This was the shielding treasure Mu Zhian received from Lin Ling in the past. As long as he carried it, his Innate Celestial Furnace was difficult to detect.
…Unless Mu Zhian deliberately leaked the information about his Innate Celestial Furnace.
“The chaotic aura was given to me by the Lan Clan ancestor when I went to the Lan Clan Ancestral Land not long ago,” Mu Zhian explained.
Lin Ling nodded with an “Aaa”, her clear red starry eyes bright like gems, a thoughtful look on her face.
“What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly ask if there’s chaotic aura in my body?”
Mu Zhian looked up. Because they were close, a faint floral fragrance, like morning dew, wafted into his nose. He looked at the silver-haired beauty before him and said with a smile, “Could it be that Lin Ling is also interested in the chaotic aura?”
Lin Ling stood before the ancient gate of the Sword Palace, wearing a white silk dress, and wrote: “She said before that if there was chaotic aura, it could suppress bad luck for a long time.”
“She?”
Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered slightly, seemingly realizing something, “Are you talking about the Sect Master?”
The Sect Master’s Luck indeed had some problems, and it was persistent.
If not, Lin Ling had clearly transferred the Sect Master’s bad luck to herself before, so why would the Sect Master be troubled by ‘bad luck’ again now?
Lin Ling nodded.
“Unfortunately, my Innate Celestial Furnace can’t refine this wisp of chaotic aura yet,” Mu Zhian said with a hint of regret in his tone.
What the Innate Celestial Furnace couldn’t refine, Dao Integration Realm experts naturally couldn’t refine either, otherwise, Lan Shihuai would probably have refined it already.
Because, although the Innate Celestial Furnace was passive, with Mu Zhian now at Nascent Soul Realm, it was equivalent to a Dao Integration Realm cauldron… and it even contained a true Heavenly Court within.
And Dao Integration Realm was already the pinnacle for cultivators. Transcendence above that was essentially a Dao Integration Realm unrestricted by the rules of heaven and earth.
This meant that ‘chaotic aura’ wasn’t something for cultivators to refine from the start. He just didn’t know why this sacred object from the beginning of chaos fell into Lan Shihuai’s hands, and why she directly gave it to him.
It’s a pity, if I could refine the chaotic aura, I could help Sect Master Sister.
Mu Zhian felt some regret inwardly.
He respected the Sect Master very much. The reason he wanted to help was simply because he couldn’t bear to see her troubled by bad luck.
After all, even Shang Yanfei couldn’t handle this bad luck… It was hard to imagine how tricky it must be.
“I have a way to help you refine the chaotic aura.”
Just then, Lin Ling suddenly held up her small notebook and wrote.
Mu Zhian was suspicious: “Really? I don’t believe it.”
“How?”
Then, he quickly asked again.
However, after he finished speaking, Lin Ling remained silent.
Within the entire Sword Palace, only the deafening thunderclaps could be heard. Lightning dragons swam in mid-air, a destructive aura enveloping the Sword Palace.
Lightning flashed, illuminating the silver-haired beauty’s delicate face in the dim light. She slightly lowered her head, her long eyelashes hiding her magnificent red eyes, seemingly also to conceal the faint blush on her face.
Mu Zhian asked calmly, “Is it related to dual cultivation…?”
Lin Ling quickly shook her head.
Then, she wrote in her small notebook: “The third portion of Heavenly Dao Energy will allow your Innate Celestial Furnace to refine all heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the world.”
If it’s just giving me Heavenly Dao Energy, why are you blushing, Lin Ling? Just give me the third portion of Heavenly Dao Energy and let me refine it, wouldn’t that be fine?
“Since that’s the case, why are you blushing so much?”
“Or is my Lin Ling craving Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy after not being intimate for a few days?”
Mu Zhian said with a gentle smile, gently pulling Lin Ling’s delicate body into his embrace, softly stroking her smooth silver hair.
He could clearly feel Lin Ling’s body stiffen at first, then gradually relax.
She closed her eyes slightly in Mu Zhian’s warm embrace, her slender hands subconsciously wrapping around his shoulders, immersed in the young man’s warmth.
After an unknown amount of time, she gently patted Mu Zhian’s shoulder, then broke free from his embrace, and handed him the small notebook she had just finished writing in: “The Karmic Fire burning my body in the past, Heavenly Dao Energy was one of the reasons, but having only one portion of Heavenly Dao Energy is fine.”
“When I only have one portion of Heavenly Dao Energy, it can even suppress part of the Karmic Fire for me,” she continued writing.
Mu Zhian understood. It wasn’t that Lin Ling couldn’t refine Heavenly Dao Energy, but that she couldn’t refine multiple portions of Heavenly Dao Energy at the same time.
Even Dao Integration Realm experts could usually only refine one portion of Heavenly Dao Energy, let alone Lin Ling, whose constitution was special and was already troubled by Karmic Fire.
If she only held one portion of Heavenly Dao Energy, it wouldn’t have much impact on her.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you keep the last portion of Heavenly Dao Energy?”
Lin Ling gently shook her head, holding up her small notebook and writing: “Only by giving all three portions of Heavenly Dao Energy to you can I truly be free in the future.”
Her eyes had always been clear and bright, but when writing this, her gaze became somewhat shy and evasive, her eyelids drooping slightly. She turned another page in her small notebook.
“After giving you the third portion of Heavenly Dao Energy, the Karmic Fire burning my body will be more severe than before in a short time, but it will gradually get better. Until finally, the Karmic Fire will completely disappear.”
Mu Zhian was slightly stunned, then finally understood, hesitating, “You mean, after I refine the third portion of Heavenly Dao Energy, I have to keep helping you… until the Karmic Fire is completely suppressed?”
No wonder Lin Ling, who was just eating a meat bun, was blushing so much now, so that was it…
Mu Zhian swallowed slightly and asked tentatively, “…How long will that take?”
Lin Ling pressed her long, slender legs together, lowered her head, buried her face behind her small notebook, and looked at him shyly with her moist red starry eyes: “Not sure, probably a little longer than before.”
She gestured a small distance with her fingers.
Mmm, if it’s only a little longer than before, it shouldn’t be a problem…
But Yao Meng is still protecting Ruoxi and the others, I don’t know how much longer it will take… Mu Zhian subconsciously looked at the white-dressed woman undergoing the tribulation in the distance, and Yao Meng, who was protecting Gong Lianyue outside the formation.
He quickly collected his thoughts, looked at Lin Ling, and said, “Since that’s the case, then after their tribulation is over and we return to the sect, you can transfer the third portion of Heavenly Dao Energy to me then?”
However, as soon as his voice fell, he saw Lin Ling’s red lips part slightly. The next moment, everything before his eyes seemed to shift, and in an instant, they appeared within the Two Polarities Sect, having traveled through the void.
Mu Zhian was silent for a long time, momentarily stunned by Lin Ling’s actions.
Was she really that eager to give him the Heavenly Dao Energy…?
Or was the Heavenly Dao Energy just a pretense, and this pure and lovely silver-haired beauty, after trying it a few times, had already developed a taste for it?
Would she treat this as her favorite snack in the future, wanting to enjoy it every few hours…?
Mu Zhian looked at the silver-haired beauty before him, her alluring shoulders exposed beneath her white dress, her silver hair slightly covering her pure face, her rosy, sexy lips slightly pursed. At this moment, Mu Zhian’s worries about his ‘future’ were completely thrown to the back of his mind.
Mmm, if it’s Lin Ling, if she really wants to be intimate, it’s not impossible to always accompany her.
After all, seeing a usually pure and dazed beauty show a shy expression, then look at you expectantly… this feeling was quite nice.
It could be said that Lin Ling’s personality was the complete opposite of Yao Meng’s.
If it were Yao Meng, she would mostly take the initiative.
But no matter what, it was impossible to really stay in Two Polarities Peak now… If Yao Meng couldn’t find him after finishing protecting Ruoxi, she would probably turn the Eastern Continent upside down.
Mu Zhian quickly collected his thoughts, opened his mouth slightly, about to speak.
“Why did you bring him here?”
Just then, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
Mu Zhian looked in the direction of the voice and realized they were currently in a forest on Two Polarities Peak. Not far away, ancient trees towered, their leaves rustling in the wind.
A tall and slender mature woman leaned against a tree trunk, her legs bent, sitting quietly beneath the tree.
She wore a magnificent black robe embroidered with peach blossom patterns. A pair of jade-white feet were faintly visible beneath her raven-black skirt. Her beauty was enough to captivate any man at first glance, mysterious and alluring.
However, he didn’t feel any pressure from her, just like an ordinary person.
For some reason, Mu Zhian felt a sense of déjà vu looking at this scene.
He gazed at her face, trying to memorize her appearance, but the moment he looked away, he would unconsciously forget what she looked like.
As if sensing their gazes, Shang Yanfei slowly opened her eyes, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
Looking up, a hint of surprise appeared in her pale golden eyes for the first time, and she said softly:
“She gave you the chaotic aura early?”
